I'm not sure about what qtengine is, but I'll guess:

Choosing "Use my KDE style in GTK applications" on the appearance
settings, section "GTK Styles and Fonts", make-frame-on-display produces
a segfault, as reported. Choosing "Use another style: Raleigh" works
fine, except for this message on the console:

(emacs:12482): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: g_object_unref: assertion `G_IS_OBJECT (object)' failed

just after `delete-frame' on the frame created with `make-frame-on-display'.

I'm working on Kubuntu 8.10 x86_64 KDE 4.2.2.

Hope this helps.
