since the interest in this thread is staggering, I'm replying myself:
so, right now also icon effcets (kde4 icon cache should probably be removed
then, don't know how to access it from qt5) and other widgets settings are
synced, like text position in toolbars, icons in buttons etc.

the widget style is brutally applied to kde4. of course the problem may be
that said style doesn't exist for qt4, in that case kde4 applications will
fallback to oxygen.

Ideas and patched how to improve the whole thing, are welcome
