Ok.

I think KDE has something like a GTK-QT-Engine. It tries to apply the qt
theme to gtk applications. I'm guessing something is wrong with that.
Could you try disabling it?
Found some documentation on:
<A HREF="https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Uniform_Look_for_QT_and_GTK_Applications">https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Uniform_Look_for_QT_and_GTK_Applications</A>
According to that, you want to go to:
Control Center (kcontrol) --> Appearance & Themes --> GTK Styles and Fonts
Suggest also pinging on IRC (#mageia-dev on freenode) as that is a bit
easier than emails.
