The strange thing is that other qt apps don't look the same, but rather
the way lyx also used to look like, even though they also use
(depend on) libqt3-mt. After more digging I also installed kcontrol.
Under Appearance & Themes -> Style -> Widget Style it has Plastik,
which is the one used by the other apps, but qtconfig-qt3 does not have
that theme and its own appearance is the same as lyx. Maybe it's
something about libqt3-mt?

Andrei
