Thank you. That seems to be the first truly helpful suggestion.

On my system, there is no ~/.gtkrc-2.0, but I do have ~/.gtkrc and 
~/.gtkrc-1.2-gnome2.

If I link ~/.gtkrc to ~/.gtkrc, I get partial restoration of the GTK 
application appearance I'm accustomed to, but the result is not a 
complete recovery of what I had before.

Also, I observe a similar behavior: Running the Gnome settings daemon 
(what I take you to be referring to as "the gnome stuff running in the 
background") does indeed have a deleterious effect on KDE applications.

Nonetheless, I'm pleased by this development. Perhaps I can figure out 
how to get all the way back to what I had before.

Thanks again.
