Assuming you want GTK apps to use the Oxygen style, try installing oxygen-gtk package then change the theme to oxygen-gtk in systemsettings, this should give you the Oxygen style for all GTK apps (most likely without the 100% CPU).
Comment 2 Olivier Delaune 2011-06-20 22:21:53 CEST
Yes, it is exactly what I did. Doing this, emacs uses 100% of CPU time.
Comment 3 Ahmad Samir 2011-06-20 22:43:09 CEST
oxygen-gtk isn't the same as gtk-qt-engine, two different things; just oxygen-gtk as a theme can be selected using the gtk-qt kcm module.

So which theme is used now?
Comment 4 Olivier Delaune 2011-06-20 23:47:16 CEST
Indeed, thansk for the explanations. So, if I use only oxygen-gtk (systemsettings > GTK styles > Use another style: oxygen-gtk), emacs works fine (without eating CPU time). However, if I choose "Use my KDE style in GTK application (in systemsettings > GTK styles), then emacs becomes mad. o guess problem comes from gtk-qt-engine.
Comment 5 Ahmad Samir 2011-06-21 14:32:48 CEST
Yes, gtk-qt-engine GTK engine itself.
Comment 6 Olivier Delaune 2011-09-04 15:40:05 CEST
So it is a Mageia problem or do we need to report upstream?
Comment 7 Manuel Hiebel 2011-09-06 01:04:53 CEST
Hi, seems that is a upstream problem of gtk-qt-engine:
http://debbugs.gnu.org/db/31/3195.html
https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/19397
Comment 8 Manuel Hiebel 2011-09-06 01:10:36 CEST
mh wrong link http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=604939
there is a workaround in the archlinux website

When reading the description of this version of gtk-qt-engine, I see:
"This theme engine is currently experimental and considered as an ugly hack
by some people. Use at your own risk."

There doesn't seem to be a lot of activity upstream:
 
gtk-qt.ecs.soton.ac.uk doesn't work and activity here http://code.google.com/p/gtk-qt-engine/ is low

Anyway, the issue (when it still exists of course) should be added here:
http://code.google.com/p/gtk-qt-engine/issues/list

And if the bug isn't valid anymore, please tell us :)

@ John

Since you imported this package:

there is no maintainer, upstream is dead (AFAICS)

Do we need this package?

Hi,

This bug was filed against cauldron, but we do not have cauldron at the moment.

Please report whether this bug is still valid for Mageia 2.

Thanks :)

Cheers,
marja

Comment 12 Olivier Delaune 2012-05-27 00:56:34 CEST
Yes this bug is still valid. Maybe it is the good time to think about removing this package if it is not absolutely necessary.
Comment 13 Manuel Hiebel 2012-05-27 01:48:39 CEST
marja has missed to exclude some categories of bugs like upstream one that we can not do nothing, so I will close this one as wontfix...
