Fixing the way Firefox renders under Backtrack/Ubuntu

I finally had enough retuning Firefox every time I loaded Backtrack4. You see, some apps (like firefox) are built using GTK, but Ubuntu/Backtrack run use KDE. The result is that no matter how you tune your X-theme, Firefox still looks like poo. The fix is to do some trickery with KDE->GTK->Qt bindings, look at Bug #193538, or just load a Firefox theme that addresses this problem. My preference is KFirefox: Firefox Theme for KDE4. Pointy clicky, draggy droppy, and you have a svelte firefox under Ubuntu.
