Description Lucien XU 2011-04-24 15:30:06 CEST

Description of problem:
In order to have the oxygen theme everywhere, I used kdesu to tune my super user theme and selected oxygen widget style instead of iaora.
Strangely, the application does not takes the theme, and even if it is said in systemsettings that the widget style is oxygen, it is still displayed with iaora.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
KDE 4.6.2

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. (Create the kdesu symlink if not created)
2. Use kdesu systemsettings to launch the system settings and set another widget style.
3. The application does not change and still takes the iaora theme.

The same issue is valid when using 'su -' from terminal to load kde apps as root.

It seems that the style settings aren't applied if you're not fully logged in. Test case:
- Create user a and user b
- Log into user a, then load an KDE app as user b:
$ su - b
password:
- Load systemsetting and try to change the widget style:
$ systemsetting

the changes don't have any effect.

No, not fixed for all situations, IIUC. I've already filed https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=271665

Doesn't seem fixed, when looking at the upstream bug reports

We have KDE version 4.7.95-1.mga2 now, and a different default theme.

Is this bug still valid?

Comment 8 Lucien XU 2011-12-25 10:55:45 CET

The bug is still valid, but hidden. Now apps launched with kdesu will take the oxygen widget set, that is the default set, even if I change the theme to cleardots for example

It is less annoying since I'm using oxygen by default, but the bug is still not fixed

Thanks for replying :)

Do you agree on closing this bug as WORKSFORME or OLD (we should have the possibility to close a bug as UPSTREAM), and later reopening it, if it still annoys, after upstream comes with a patch?
