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.
