And I forgot to mention that kde-gtk-config writes global gtkrc files that 
affect ALL desktop environments, whereas xsettings-kde only affected Plasma 
sessions. It is not possible to have per-desktop gtkrc files with GTK+ 3 
(they removed the environment variables GTK+ 2 supported for that purpose, 
where you could point GTK+ 2 to a specific gtkrc at runtime), XSettings are 
the only way, and kde-gtk-config does not use those. (That said, I think 
XSettings will not work under Wayland anymore, which might also explain the 
growing disinterest in xsettings-kde.)
