This works:
sudo cp ~/.gtkrc-2.0-kde4 /root/gtkrc-2.0
for hardy, you need to run
sudo cp ~/.gtkrc-2.0-kde /root/gtkrc-2.0

The problem is that the env variable that is responsible for the theming
is reset by *sudo
2 Options:
1) Make kdesudo preserve that particular variable
2) Patch KApplication to (re)set the variable and thus make the whole
startkde-hook stuff unnecessary
** Changed in: kubuntu-default-settings
In this thread there is a temporary solution:
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=811752
Or, as noted in one of the duplicates of this bug, run:
sudo cp ~/.gtkrc-2.0-kde4 /root/gtkrc-2.0
after each change you made to your GTK+ theme settings.
Hope that helps while the bug is being fixed.
Unacceptable. kademar Linux (it's based on Debian testing) can do this.

Hi,
There isn't much more we can do right now on that point.
Indeed, the settings are set while the user logs in, within startkde, and
therefore, only having launched a kde session once well make the gtk settings
available.
This is due to gtk apps not beeing able to deal with kiosk settings in
Mandriva Linux's tools are GTK+, and this distribution doesn't have this
problem.
In any case, although this can not be solved now, I think this bug
should be marked as confirmed. It is a significant weakness in the
consistency of appearance.
