The problem here is that KDE sets up some app-defaults for non-KDE apps.
There is a control panel somewhere that allows you to turn this feature
off. I recommend doing that, because it seems really broken. Have you
tried running emacs since you installed KDE? It's hideous. I really
don't remember the control panel that you need, so you'll need to look
around.
Another thing you could do is edit your startkde script and remove
(comment out) the line where it runs krdb. That's the KDE version of xrdb
which manages app-defaults on Xt based software (which, unfortunately, is
not being written very often anymore. The Qt and GTK people really
overlooked the value of the X Resource Database when they decided not to
use Xt. I read somewhere that the original author of GTK would have used
Xt if he had it to do over...but I digress).
