Thanks Richard,
JPilot does use gtk2 (I assume gtk2 not gtk), but both are installed 
including the gnome control centre 2. I'll try that and see what happens. I 
currently have a build going and I cannot restart KDE, but I do have the 
daemon running,, but no luck on the colors for jpilot. I'll try this in the 
morning since my build will probably continue for the next hour or two.
