Well, this sounds fine to me, and seems to be working well. I just
append this to .bashrc:
# Make sure our customised gtkrc file is loaded.

export GTK2_RC_FILES=$HOME/.gtkrc-2.0-kde
Please close the bug report; no need to keep it lingering around. If
David finds a more
elegant solution, let me know!
