Don't use GTK programs and expect them to look like native KDE apps. You could give Kopete a try if Pidgin is annoying you that much. Yeah, Zach there has a point.

All integration work has been forced to KDE's side as such all they can do is get Qt4 to look like GTK+, because the Qt engine is more advanced UI wise. So the ball is in GTK+/GNOME to improve their UI looks so that Qt's UI capabilities can be adequately emulated. I think the best way to get GTK apps to blend is a specific engine that has a hacked qt engine inside gtk. Other option is use an gtk looking theme in kde. Then use compiz or kde's kwin with another theme to match the gtk one http://www.kde-look.org/index.php?xcontentmode=75 .
