This is not available under KDE 4.7 apparently - there is no "Appearance
and Themes" option.  I do recall the "GTK Styles and Fonts" settings but
could not find them in the latest KDE control panel

Then I discovered that that the gtk-qt-kcm wasn't installed - and once
installed the option was there - but changing the settings didn't seem
to help much
