Huh? Oh, is that old bug back?
Well, back in OSS 10.2 and in 11.2 again, after a clean install, I had to do a full X11 login as root, use qtconfig, the KDE- and Gnome-settings-tools and afterwards it was ok.
Somehow without a working configuration in the users/root .gtkrc, .kderc, and .kde/share/config it just didn't work right.
I'd oracle its a matter of which configs are read or ignored. Private user-config ($HOME/....) was honoured alright, but the so called system-pre-defined-defaults were ignored, if read at all.
Cheers, Yamaban. Well, we have consistently had the problem of root user qt applications (maybe others) such as YaST... or for that matter things like dolphin and KWrite not honoring the user set theme elements. It seems like the devs can't figure it out. And though I doubt I could figure a fix, I would like to understand what
