If you are in the habit of "trying" different themes (for example, just
to see what they look like), it is sometimes possible to get into a
"stuck" state, where resources from several themes are all used
together.

There seems to be no way to "back" out of all themes, and get the
default desktop back.

- Open up the Control Centre
- Choose themes.  Try a few, and then apply or OK them
- Eventually the resources for the window controls (i.e., Exit,
minimize) will be "stuck", as will the K start button.  For example, I
had a "Mac OS" K button with "Rackmount" window buttons.
- Selecting default brought back _some_ of the resources, but not the
sticky ones, like the windows controls, the K button, and the file
manager icons.

This _seemed_ to happen after importing a them and trying it.

The only solution was to go into all the various .kde/... directories
and removing the button and icon resources.  This cured the problem -- I
didn't even have to edit and *rc files...
