To change the color scheme in more detail than just changing the
theme, you have to edit the gtkrc file for now - I thought 
KDE made a best effort to do this, you may have a ~/.gtkrc-kde 
or something like that while KDE is running?

If the KDE feature doesn't fully work as you say it may just be that 
it doesn't cover all the relevant colors that can be set, so perhaps 
adding extra stuff to your ~/.gtkrc.mine to cover those would help.
