Go into the KDE System settings.
Then click "Application Appearance" under the "Common Appearance and Behavior"
Then click GTK.

I changed the GTK2 theme to Raleigh and the GTK3 to Emacs. I'm not sure which of the two was required but Emacs now works for me.

BTW I noticed that emacs-snapshot didn't have this problem.
