Product: Fedora https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=890538 --- Comment #3 from Kevin Kofler <kevin@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> --- The problem with kde-gtk-config is that it tries to let you configure some settings which are already handled by xsettings-kde (usually by making the GTK+ settings automatically match the KDE ones, which IMHO is the best solution wherever it's possible), so if xsettings-kde is running, which it is by default, the settings you make in kde-gtk-config will have no effect. Thus, to the user, it will look like the application does not work. As for the GTK+ 2 vs. 3 theming, we enforce matching GTK+ 2 and 3 themes through xsettings-kde (it reads the GTK+ 2 theme setting from kcm-gtk and tries to enforce that over XSettings for both GTK+ 2 and 3) because of the braindead way GTK+ 3 settings work (and our requests for improvements having been totally ignored by the GTK+ maintainers): * GTK+ 3 only reads settings from a hardcoded config file. It does not take environment variables for additional config files as GTK+ 2 did. So it is not possible to set a GTK+ 3 theme only for KDE Plasma sessions (which is what we want; the settings you make in KDE System Settings should not affect other desktops) except through XSettings. * XSettings handling is also very stupid because both GTK+ 2 and 3 use the same NET/ThemeName XSetting for the theme. (GNOME does not see this as a problem because they have always been enforcing matching themes, as braindead as that is.) There's some discussion of these issues in Bugzilla, in meeting logs and/or mailing list archives etc. The result of this is that, with xsettings-kde running (and again, that's the default), you'll end up with either only the GTK+ 2 theme setting being applied, or both being ignored, depending on how kde-gtk-config saves the setting. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
