If using kde-redhat packages (at least our gtk+/gtk2/redhat-artwork rpms), 
then you have 2 options:
1.  Use themer to set the default kde/gnome theme to one of: 
Bluecurve(default), keramik, galaxy
To change away from the Bluecurve(default), do
apt-get install keramik-default
or
apt-get install galaxy-default

2.  Use /usr/sbin/alternatives to set the default theme(s) manually.  Once 
themer is installed and running,
/usr/sbin/alternatives --display gtk-theme
and/or
/usr/sbin/alternatives --display kde-theme
should give you some pointers.

p.s.  I thought I'd at least ask if there is any possibility of getting 
this "using alternatives to set the system default theme/style" idea into 
Fedora Core.  What say you?  We've been using it now for a couple of years 
in the kde-redhat project, and our implementation is fairly simple and 
robust.
