Qt and GTK on 64 bit systems


Good day to you all! :P

I have encountered a rather nasty issue... While I have managed to to theme both Qt and GTK in the same manner for 64bit applications, the 32bit ones (as in proprietary programs I cannot remove), looks like something of an old horror movie with Windows 95 in it! :P

Is it possible to install 32bit Qt (well I must have it already musn't I? Since the program works...) or an identical 32bit Qt/GTK theme in order for those nasty 32bit programs to gain an acceptable appearence on my system?

I'm running Fedora Core 6, the amd64 version naturally (or I wouldn't cry for help :P).

Any help happily recieved!

thanks for the reply but gtk-qt-engine-32bit only makes 32bit GTK apply the theme currently set in 32bit Qt. I need a 32bit Qt first.

Fedora, by default, installs both 32 and 64 bit software, you have 32bit QT installed and themes for it as well.
[ actually, until there are no more 32 bit systems, all distros will install support for 32 bit on 64 bit hardware. ]
The amd 64 cpus are actually dual mode, so that the system can run a 32 bit application.

I'm had what appears to be the same issue. For me it was when I started up firefox i686. Everything worked fine with theme engines that were installed by default, but not with the gtk-murrine-engine which I installed after the fact. I located a gtk-murrine-engine compiled for i386 installed and all was well.
