Styles and dialogs are unrelated things. The original question was about
not using GTK+ dialogs, which can be fixed by building and using the GTK+
platform theme. This has nothing to do with the styles.

Also, instead of the args hack in your snippet, you can better use API:

  the_app.setStyle('cleanlooks')

See https://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qapplication.html#setStyle-1
