A workaround -- ensure that gnome-settings-daemon is running by:

    ln -s /usr/libexec/gnome-settings-daemon .kde/Autostart/

Now you can use gnome-theme-manager to control the appearance of Gtk
apps, including scrollbars.

This is only a workaround.  Gtk applications should honor the KDE color
scheme when running under KDE.
