[p4] p4v 2007.3 and Qt "styles"

I've just switch to the latest p4v, 2007.3. The default style is sickly 
pale looking to me. Too little contrast between widgets and frames, and 
the whole thing is light, bright, and hard on my eyes.

The command line -style argument seems a bit flakey. Most styles, such 
as -style=sgi don't seem to do anything. In fact, other than "cde" and 
"motif", every other style looks the same. Even -style=foobar changes 
from the default to what you get with the other options such as 
-style=windows.

Anyway, this is fine except when p4v launches the merge tool. It doesn't 
pass the style setting on the command line:

I realize this is more of a Qt question, but does anybody know how to 
get a style setting to the merge tool when launched by p4v?
