Really?  I would have assumed there are standard sizes (but that
wouldn't guarantee that non-theme icons would be available in the
appropriate size).

I would appreciate that, and let me know if I can do anything at this
end to help.

KDE is 3.5.8-2.2, gtk-qt engine is from kcm_gtk-0.7svn20070827-16 (RPMs
for openSUSE 10.3).

I'm using the default GTK style of openSUSE 10.3, which I believe is
QtCurve (it's just labelled "default" in my personal KDE configuration
file, but the systemwide configuration file refers to QtCurve).  To see
the effect of changing the style it is necessary to restart KDE, which
is rather onerous to do repeatedly.  When I have some time to do that
systematically and find differences depending on the theme, I'll report
back about it.
