Bug Description

Binary package hint: gtk2-engines-gtk-qt

I am using ubuntu dapper (not kubuntu) when I installed all gtk engines on repositories. Finished it, all gtk apps stopped work - and, yes, when i rebooted X, i could not login in GNOME. So i moved all .gtk* and .gnome* from my home to a backup dir and added one file per time, so I found that the .gtkrc-2.0 was broken. Here is it's contents:

---

# This file was written by KDE
# You can edit it in the KDE control center, under "GTK Styles and Fonts"

include "/usr/share/themes/Qt/gtk-2.0/gtkrc"

style "user-font"
{
        font_name="DejaVu Sans 9"
}
widget_class "*" style "user-font"

gtk-theme-name="Qt"
gtk-font-name="DejaVu Sans 9"

---

So i think it's somewhat related to gtk2-engines-gtk-qt package. Simply removing this file avoids all problems described.

When I tried to open a gtk2 program, the X says about a unknown device 166, opcode 4, or something like this. I don't noticed at time this information would be useful.. but when trying to reproduce it now, the program says only Segmentation Fault..

This should be fixed in version 0.7 of the gtk-qt engine. Unfortunately it seems that Dapper still only packages version 0.6.

OK. Gtk-qt isn't so useful while I am on GNOME, so I can wait the version 0.7 on Ubuntu. :)

I'm having the following symptoms (using Edgy): fonts are very poorly rendered in certain GTK2 applications, under KDE. For instance, Gaim and Gnucash are both rendering terrible, jaggy fonts. Firefox, somewhat oddly, seems unaffected and is rendering fonts properly.

Would these symptoms also be caused by this same bug? The version of gtk2-engines-gtk-qt that I have installed is 0.70-0ubuntu1, from Edgy.

Michael,

I've never heard of that happening before. It sounds like a font configuration problem - maybe you have your antialiasing settings turned off in Gnome?

It seems unlikely to be a problem with the gtk-qt-engine, but just to be sure could you try using another GTK theme and telling me if it still occurs? You can change your GTK theme under "GTK Styles and Fonts" in the KDE control center.

Thanks.

Yet another graphics problem with gtk2-engines-gtk-qt:

On a fresh installed Kubuntu Edgy (final release) gtk apps (tested with synaptic, gimp and eclipse) have an ugly dark window backgound, while KDE apps have not. Screenshot attached.

In reply to da1l6,

I'm unable to reproduce your colour problem with a fresh install of Edgy and the latest gtk-qt engine from svn.
Maybe that bug has been fixed already?

I still get this bug with Feisty (with Eclipse too) ! This bug is said to be fixed on Debian's 0.8~svn-rev26-1 but I can't confirm.
