Description:
The styles of KDE3 and QT3 programs has been changed to a ugly default and in the qt3config tool, I do not see styles like plastik and keramik anymore, although they are still on disk in /opt/kde/lib/kde3/plugins/styles/. Happened on upgrade of qt3 (3.3.8-10 -> 3.3.8-11)

Additional info:
* package version(s)
qt3 3.3.8-11
kdelibs3 3.5.10-2

* config and/or log files etc.
/

Steps to reproduce:
Upgrade and open a QT3 or KDE3 application (e.g. kile), warning: the ugly look will shock you :)
This task depends upon

Did you try to rebuild kdelibs3? KDE3 styles allways had strange dependencies on minor qt3 changes.

I tried that, building kdelibs3 ends with:
make[4]: Entering directory `/home/evdvelde/tmp/tmp/src/kdelibs-3.5.10/kdecore'
../dcop/dcopidl/dcopidl ./kappdcopiface.h > kappdcopiface.kidl || ( rm -f kappdcopiface.kidl ; false )
/bin/sh: line 1: 28681 Segmentation fault ../dcop/dcopidl/dcopidl ./kappdcopiface.h > kappdcopiface.kidl

Executing dcopidl the command myself does not (always?) segfault. Building the package failed 100% of the time though.

Opening another bug report for this :)

I can confirm the issue. I've also open a post about it on the forum: http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=73011
I've tried to recompile from scratch some themes from Kde-look.org but after copying them in the /opt/kde/lib/kde3/plugins/styles on the next execution of qt3config I got something like:

Conflict in /opt/kde/lib/kde3/plugins/styles/qtcurve.so:
Plugin cannot be queried successfully!

Is the source for qt3config available somewhere?

kdelibs3 needs a rebuild for the kde3 themes to work again. I also had to rebuild qtcurve-kde3 so that qtcurve worked again. I am attaching two patches needed for kdelibs3 to build.
   inotify-compile.patch (1.8 KiB)
   ftp-kioslave-constness.patch (0.8 KiB)
