For native desktop look, you need to use Widgets.  With QML, you need to 
use the desktop components, but they're not ready yet and are still 
under development.

An exception to native look, as I wrote in my other post, is KDE 4. 
There's no way to get a native look there.  This will get fixed in KDE 
5, but that's not going to be released any time soon.
