I can reproduce the 2 icons in kcontrol, but I can't reproduce the screwed GTK applications. After switching from mist engine to the Qt engine, my GTK programs look just as the default KDE theme. Switching back however forces me to use CTRL+ALT+BS to get back to the shell and restart X, it hangs all my programs (I've never seen different behaviour with gtk-qt-engine).

The application screw is in the color scheme. There's no visual deface, just the implementation of the colors differs from the previouse version.

Hmm, I didn't notice weird things. Are you running the version from testing or from extra? It could be that this version uses the new symbolic color names that have been introduced in gtk 2.10.

I'm using 0.7-1 (the extra repo version). Downgrading solves the problem... so it might be a dependency problem

could you try 0.7-2 from testing, together with latest glib2, gtk2, pango and cairo?

Sorry... i'm on a stable instalation laptop. This is my desktop so I can't install testing packages. But i'll se if I can install it in on old box i have.

Very well... i've tryed the testing with success. But when i returned to my laptop there was also a glib2 and cairo update wich made gtk-qt-engines all back together ;) but there's still 2 icons in the control panel (even in the 0.7-2 package).

So actually the cairo and glib2 updates fixed the theme engine?

Yes... Don't know why, but it did. The only thing left in this bug report would be the 2 icons on the control panel.

UPDATE: Thunderbird and firefox still apears with the strange color scheme. The colors are the same as QT ones, but the draw of that colors isn't done correctly. Gaim and Xchat are ok, with no graphical problem what so ever.

OK... i've noticed if I run firefox or thinderbird from within "K menu" it works fine, but it is executed from Alt+F2->run or konsole the draw of theme is completly screwd.

mozilla apps are a special case, these programs try to immitate the GTK theme, most of the widgets and colors are drawn from XUL, not from GTK.

Yes... I knew that, the strange thing is that it appears with right drawing using Kmenu but defaced using command line

I'm having with this as well.

The issue with the 2 icons for GTK/QT engine is minor, IMO.

But the screwed up rendering is really causing me major problems. I'm seeing rendering problems in several GTK-based apps:

firefox
thunderbird
eclipse
grip


Anyone have any idea what the problem is and how to fix it (or a workaround)? I rely heavily on Eclipse in particular at work and so this is causing me major grief.


On that note, can someone please bump up the priority on this bug? It's definitely not a low priority bug, IMO!

Thanks,

DR

Hmmmm .....

Well, maybe the rendering issues are not related to GTK QT engine.

From KDE I started a new X session on :1, and I see the same rendering problems under IceWM, and even Gnome. In fact, the Gnome panel itself is having problems rendering. So perhaps this is an X problem? A gnome library problem? I really don't know for sure, but something that was updated during the timeframe of July 6 through July 9 caused the problem.

If you'd like to see the rendering problems I'm talking about, see the attached screenshots. The first shows how one of Firefox's pull-down menus renders when I first pull it down. The menus only render properly (as in the 2nd image) when I run the mouse over each of the menu options.

Hmmmm again ...

Sounds like maybe the bug I'm experiencing is this one:

Anyone else having these probs?

The problems are still there... kdebase-3.5.4 doesn't solved nothing.

It seems that the problem was the engine, it all seems well now in kdebase-3.5.6, gtk2-2.10.9-2, gtk-qt-engine-0.7-2, but the 2 icon apearence in control center still exists :(

Just add an

rm -Rf ${startdir}/pkg/usr/share/applications

to the end of the PKGBUILD and the second entry is gone.
(why takes this simple fix more than a year to be done?)

because it is a banal fix and i was waiting for the next upstream release. but it seems, that the developement on gtk-qt-engine is kind of non-existing and no new releases happen to come out.
