I had the same issue before. I cannot clearly remember but try to un-check "Apply colors to non-TDE applications" in TDE Control Center => Appearence & Themes => Colors.
This might help.
That's a bad solution - this checkbox is unfortunately named, it should be named "apply styles' - it govern not only colors, but also button styles, button placements and fonts in gtk apps
The correct solution is to add following to you .xsession file
( sleep 10 xrdb -all -query|sed -e 's#[A-Z_]*BACKGROUND# gray90#' \ -e 's#[A-Z_]*FOREGROUND# Black#' \ -e 's#[A-Z_]*HIGHLIGHT# White#' \ -e 's#[A-Z_]*LOWLIGHT# Black#'|xrdb -merge ) &
