Native gtk dialogs in Qt applications in XFCE

Hi,
I've been using many Qt applications under the Gnome and all these application have had native gtk look&feel and dialogs (open/save). I changed my desktop to XFCE, but Qt applications looks ugly (which can be corrected by qtconfig) and use its own load/save dialogs - not the gtk native. Does anyone know the way to correct it, so Qt apps behave like in Gnome?

Thanks.

qtconfig actually lets you choose the default style, in Select GUI Style choose GTK+ and then File>Save.

There is a check in Qt 4.7 to guess if the running desktop is Xfce as to automatically define the style to GTK+ when you set the GUI Style to System default in qtconfig. This specific check does also all the magic for the Chooser dialogs.

I know these steps, but it seems this doesn't work in the newest Xubuntu, therefore I'm asking there.
