Un-intuitive as it may be, you may just need to start using either the Adwaita or Clearlooks-phenix theme.
One chap I know of that's using the CERN linux told me that solved a problem similar to yours by using the clearlooks-phenix theme.
I use clearlooks-phenix here to solve a different set of problems (menus on Gnome-terminal and Geany), and I don't really like the way Adwaita looks.
Here's the solution if you want to try it:
yum install clearlooks-phenix-gtk2-theme clearlooks-phenix-gtk3-theme
Go to the look and feel preferences setting on your desktop and select Clearlooks-phenix from the list.
And afterward you can
yum remove mate-themes
if you want because it's not needed any more (assuming that you're using mate, that is).
