This is because Adept is ran as root (via kdesu/kdesudo). It is an issue, but a workaround is to start System Settings as root (kdesudo systemsettings) and setting the style from there.

That is really a problem with how kdesudo works, or rather: it does not work because of how kdesudo works which is completely intentional. This should work a lot better for KPackageKit (which will be default package manager in 9.04 and uses a new system to gain root access).
