Plastique has *not* been selected by the user. Qtconfig claims to be using "Desktop Settings (Default)", but the whole desktop uses the Oxygen style (with the exception of these select apps). For some reason the Desktop Default, Oxygen, is not being properly communicated to Qtconfig. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

Strangely qtconfig ran as root is set to "desktop settings" for widget style. And systemsettings ran as root is set to "Oxygen" style. So you'd think everything was in order and it should work as desired - but it doesn't. YaST, Dolphin and whatever other Qt4/KDE4 apps you might run as root are _not_ using the Oxygen style - and therefore looking ugly and out of place. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

There are two problems: - Qt does not recognize run in a KDE session when run as different user - Qt defaults to plastique due to bug 214960 (Dirk's choice in 2006 and never revisted) We can easily switch Qt's default for unrecognized desktops - and possibly we can also fix any bug with recognizing KDE. But following $USER's style is hard to impossible.

- Qt defaults to plastique due to bug 214960 (Dirk's choice in 2006 and never revisted)

I'm pretty sure that e.g. YaST and super-user Dolphin were using Oxygen widget style until either 11.3 or 11.4.

The YaST2 'control panel' looks perfect (in oxygen, I haven't tried other themes yet) but the various modules look very strange (and fugly). Also apps launched using KDESU assume Oxygen but show a discrepancy in the application of the background gradient that is apparent when it fails to blend with the window decoration correctly. Once again, have not tested KDESU with non-oxygen themes. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

GTK YaST in the KDE environment does not assume the Oxygen-gtk, but rather looks like it is using adwaita. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

Though root applications (YaST excluded thanks to fugly themeing junk) are showing Oxygen, they are not assuming any of the desktop users settings. If I change anything is user-space it will not populate that change to applications launched with kdesu. Running System Settings as root WILL allow changing of various settings... the only one not working correctly being cursor themes. Thus I can get kdesu and normal apps to look consistent, but this is manually. As it stands I am not certain whether it is a bug or not. Below are the arguments I have heard, and their rebuttal. Root being a user, and not an administrative mode would therefore have its own settings and not assume the desktop users settings. Assuming this is the upstream use-case intent then I have no argument on this point. I vaguely recall mention that the root launched apps ARE supposed to take the current environments settings. Thus, it would be a bug no matter how it has been attempted to be passed off as a feature. Root being dangerous should therefore have a different theme. This is patently ridiculous based on the fact that the only reason root had a different theme is because I changed settings in my own space, causing the inconsistency. More ridiculous though is the idea that making it look identical to default settings accomplishes the goal of making it distingushable enough to prevent error and protect the user from forgetfullness. If this failure to assume the users personal settings is a bug, then it should be fixed. If a different behavior is deemed appropriate for security reasons then that should be implemented after the fix rather than passing a bug off as a feature. If indeed this is intentional, then the root user theme should be immediately distinguishable from any likely user settings and reflect the severity and utility of the superuser. Comment 44 clearly states this is in fact a bug. The bug in question is not about using Oxygen (despite the title) but about qt behaving correctly and picking up the users settings. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
