[Pkg-kde-extras] kde-config-gtk-style did not have an effect for iceweasel

Hello,

I hope I am using the right mailing list for this. I installed KDE 4.6.2 
from experimental-snapshots on my aptosid installation and tried 
kde-config-gtk-style (Version 2:0.5.3-1) to change the widget style of 
iceweasel (3.5.19-1). But it did not have an effect. Other 
gtk-applications changed their style (e.g. icedove), but not iceweasel 
which did use the ugly gnome-default-style (I wanted it to be clearlooks).

Comparing all ~/.gtk* files with another installation on another PC 
where firefox uses clearlooks, I found that iceweasel does not use the 
configuration ".gtkrc-2.0-kde" but instead ".gtkrc-2.0-kde4". So I 
created a symlink ".gtkrc-2.0-kde4 -> .gtkrc-2.0-kde" and now it works 
that iceweasel uses the settings from kde-config-gtk-style, too.

I do not know if my iceweasel is messed up somehow with old settings. 
But if iceweasel uses this .gtkrc-2.0-kde4 file generally, it might be a 
good idea, to automatically create this symlink when using 
kde-config-gtk-style?

Thanks,
Gert
