Gnome Application Appearance Under KDE

Hi, Yesterday I applied the latest round of supplementary KDE updates available for SuSE Pro. 9.1. Since that update, the appearance of Gnome applications run under KDE has changed--and not generally for the better, in my opinion: Buttons, borders, pseudo-3D effects, etc. all appear cruder now than they did before. Assuming this change and the general appearance of Gnome applications under KDE is configurable, how do I exercise that control? I went through the entire KDE Control Center and couldn't find anything. Must I log in to a Gnome session to set this up? I'm not a Gnome user and know very little about it, though, of course, I use several Gnome applications under KDE. Thanks in advance. Randall Schulz
