How to make KDE 4.8 NOT take over gtk+ stuff?

I recently upgraded to KDE 4.8 (from 4.5.3, I believe), and I ran across an odd problem. Now, it looks like my GTK+ apps (GIMP, especially) are behaving as if they're under alternative button order (gtk-alternative-button-order = 1; that is, "OK/Cancel" mode, not "Cancel/OK" mode).

I did some searching, and I found that, while in KDE, my GTK2_RC_FILES env variable now has ~/.kde4/share/config/gtkrc-2.0 added to the end of it. Looking at that file, it appears that it's generated every time KDE starts, and its sole contents (minus comments) are to set gtk-alternative-button-order to 1, which seems to be the culprit. Now, I know that's there because KDE has the option to apply its color scheme to non-KDE applications, and that makes sense if you want that, but I have that turned off (System Settings -> Application Appearance -> Colors -> Options -> Apply colors to non-KDE4 applications; this is unchecked). Yet it still keeps the gtk-alternative-button-order option in KDE's own gtkrc-2.0 file, and since that's always at the end of the GTK2_RC_FILES variable, it'll always override my own options.

My question is, how can I stop it from doing this? I'd be happy with it just not resetting the button order every time I start KDE.

building qt-gui with USE=-gtkstyle may help. Also look at your settings under "Systemsettings->Application Appearance->Gtk Config"
