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 the first place.
The only way to fix in your case is to force globally the gtk settings for all users which is a lot too much untrusive.
We have to think of a better way to let kde settings available, but at the moment, there is nothing we can do on that point, especially this late in the release cycle.
That's something I knew about and that concerns me, and I'll try my best to make gtk bindings to kde more reliable and efficient in the future...
