I know about that and I have disabled xsettings-kde temporarily.

Doesn't matter, I don't think that users need different settings for Gtk2 and
Gtk3. Actually I could live in harmony with kcm-gtk if it wouldn't ignore
custom Gtk themes in ~/.themes. The popup window in the control center (search
path configuration) says something about engines in custom locations, and when
I submit  ~/.themes as an additional folder, nothing happens.

However, I set this review request to NotReady. Instead continue working on it,
I will file a bug against kcm-gtk. Perhaps we'll find a solution to use custom
Gtk themes. If yes, kde-gtk-settings becomes superfluous and this review
request can be closed.
