I noticed this behaviour, too and find it very annoying. Actually a lot of people want to use KDE and Gnome in parallel AFAIK, and the easiest and most convenient way (that people until now have been told to use on #ubuntu) is just to install both ubuntu-desktop and kubuntu-desktop, this never has caused problems and I don't see why it should.
I recently backed up all important data from my home deleted it and restored the data. After that those side effects were gone, until I started KDE (and I didn't even run a gtk program in KDE to my knowledge).
It also seems that some icons that originate from KDE are used in Gnome if both -desktop packages are installed.
IMO this bug should be at least reported upstream, because whatever is happening, is definitly something that just shouldn't possibly happen.
Also if one can't install kubuntu-dektop in parallel to ubuntu-desktop, is there a metapackage that just installs KDE?
