Gnome2 uses gtk2, KDE uses qt, so all kde programs uses qt.

Of course you would get that result when you do not have the environment
installed that you have told you will be using.

As you said in your other post that konqueror works (I guess you started it 
in
gnome2 environment), then it's maybe some issue with kwin or kicker that mak
es
the trouble.

When running gnome2 or any other desktop environment, you can't test to run
kwin (you could if you kill the awful metacity and then start kwin from
terminal, which should be the only active window you have).
You could try to start kicker from a terminal and see what kind of funny
messages/errors you get.
