gtk+ works fine, this is the one I usually do, but of course the buttons, 
lists and such don't look as nice as under qt/gtk2.

Yes, it's possible to do that out of the box, but there are a couple of 
patches I have made myself that I use and some old redhat patches too.

RedHat:
mozilla-1.2.1-already-running.patch
mozilla-1.2b-default-plugin-less-annoying.patch.bz2

Mine:
mozilla-1.8-fix_shortcuts.patch
mozilla-1.8-defaultsettings.patch

I used to use a gtk-xft patch, as for a while some brighthead thought it would 
be nice to only allow gtk2 versions of Mozilla to have anti alias fonts, but 
that ain't needed in 1.8a4+.
The fix_shortcuts, just sets the default key combinations for some features 
that have been changed due gtk2 blocks alla ctrl-shift functions (if you use 
another toolkit than gtk2, then those keycombinations aren't blocked) and I 
like to have the old kombinations.
The defaultsettings patch I have been adapting due a really strange reason, I 
use nfs for my /home, on the main user computer everything is okey, but 
running mozilla on another computer makes it to reset some values, so I have 
decided to make those values default values. The build is the same on the all 
machines, which makes it so strange.


If there is a patch you want to have, just tell me and I'll post it here.
