Blacked out toolbar menus in Gnome apps under KDE?

Hello,

I just installed SUSE 9.3 the other day and everything is wonderful.

But then I installed some Gnome libs because I needed to compile some Gnome
applications for use under KDE and I noticed something I've never noticed
before:

Whenever I run a Gnome application now, no matter whether it's The Gimp,
Gedit, etc. if I select the toolbar for file/edit/whatever from the top of
the app window, it will drop down a pitch black menu and I have to scroll
down to reveal menu items. What happened? If this is related to gtk-qt, how
may I fix this because when in KDE Control Center I see no option to modify
gtk-qt settings which normally would appear following the installation of
gtk-qt. Am I missing something? I've never seen this happen before and it
happened shortly after I installed some additional libs for Gnome (which I
need for compiling Gnome based apps so removing them isn't an option -
using Gnome rather than isn't an option either, I dislike it).

Help, please. ;_;

rpm -e gtk-qt-engine

If possible, I'd rather keep gtk-qt installed so my Gnome apps in KDE don't
look horrible, but I'd like to get this working. In a thread titled "Re:
Gnome Apps in KDE (FIXED - GTK 2.8.X)" within
opensuse.org.suse-linux.support.gnome there's details on this but I don't
know if it would work on 9.3 which is why I posted there, I didn't see that
thread (or look for such a thread) prior to posting in *.kde. My bad, I
suppose.
