We have narrowed our search to my local environment:$ env | grep QTQT_IM_MODULE=ximQT_AUTO_SCREEN_SCALE_FACTOR=0QT_SCALE_FACTOR=2The developer believes the first (set to =xim) is causing rpCalc not to function at all, and that the next two cause the font sizes on the calculator buttons to be oversize.I'm looking for one or more config files -- probably in my home directory -- that set these variables. Talk about looking for a needle in a haystack.Is there a cat | grep command (or equiv) that can recursively look for "QT" in all files in my home directory -- including hidden files? It would have to be able to output the full path to any files in which "QT" is found. Unfortunately cat does not support recursive searches.I don't know about the other 2, but QT_IM_MODULE is related to "Input Method".The "best" way to change that is to install and run "im-chooser". I've never tried to us "X compose table" (xim) as myinput method. I use ibus.
Ed,
To work correctly, the rpcalc app also needs to have QT_IM_MODULE=ibus. I don't know what sets it to xim, but whatever sets it to xim is tenacious. I've tried both "im-chooser" and a simple manual change:
$ set QT_IM_MODULE=ibus
$ export QT_IM_MODULE
$ env QT_IM_MODULE
QT_IM_MODULE=xim
If I create a new user "test" and log on with that userID, the input method defaults to ibus and rpcalc works. So the brute force method to correct my problem might be to totally blow away and recreate my current user account. That would be very destructive.
