I have the same problem. I am using RHEL 5.10 and Qt 4.8.5. With help from Qt support, we finally came up with a couple of workarounds yesterday.

Run the KDE desktop instead of gnome
Keep using the gnome desktop but run the program with the additional option "-style cleanworks", or any style other than gtk.

RHEL5 is not a supported platform for Qt 4.8, so, they are not willing to look for a code change, but at least they did help find these workarounds.
