Upgrading to gtk+-2.14 breaks gtk-engines-qt. I think the only real problem is certain icons not loading (e.g., the firefox icon, along with the icons fro refresh, stop, and home), and most applications still work, although the toolbars get a bit confusing. Meld, however, breaks completely and crashes with the following message: ~ $ meld QSettings: failed to open file '/usr/qt/3/etc/settings/qtrc' QSettings: failed to open file '/usr/qt/3/etc/settings/qtrc' Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/bin/meld", line 76, in <module> import meldapp File "/usr/lib/meld/meldapp.py", line 35, in <module> import vcview File "/usr/lib/meld/vcview.py", line 24, in <module> import tree File "/usr/lib/meld/tree.py", line 31, in <module> pixbuf_folder = load("tree-folder-normal.png", 20) File "/usr/lib/meld/tree.py", line 30, in <lambda> load = lambda x,s=14: gnomeglade.load_pixbuf( paths.share_dir("glade2/pixmaps",x), s) File "/usr/lib/meld/gnomeglade.py", line 81, in load_pixbuf image = image.get_pixbuf() ValueError: image should be a GdkPixbuf or empty ~ $ Note that the first two lines are just noise that happens with every qt app and aren't relevant to this bug. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install gtk-engines-qt and set up kde to use it for gtk apps 2. Upgrade to gtk+-2.14* 3. Run meld, firefox, or (probably) your gtk app of choice Actual Results: Missing icons, or in meld's case a crash before the app even starts Expected Results: The programs work as they did with gtk+-2.12* To get around this issue, I had to downgrade to gtk+-2.12*. This involved putting the following items in package.mask and "updating" world: =x11-libs/gtk+-2.14* =dev-python/pygtk-2.14* =media-gfx/gimp-2.6* =app-arch/file-roller-2.24* =gnome-base/libgnomeui-2.24* =gnome-base/gail-1000 =dev-python/pygobject-2.16* There may be more or less required depending on the gtk apps you have installed, but that should be a good start. The following packages were downgraded/reinstalled with my update: Sat Apr 4 02:54:00 2009 >>> x11-libs/gtk+-2.12.11 Sat Apr 4 02:54:22 2009 >>> x11-themes/gtk-engines-qt-0.8-r1 Sat Apr 4 03:00:44 2009 >>> dev-python/libgnomecanvas-python-2.22.3 Sat Apr 4 03:11:57 2009 >>> gnome-extra/gtkhtml-2.11.1 Sat Apr 4 03:13:24 2009 >>> gnome-base/gail-1.22.3 Sat Apr 4 03:14:02 2009 >>> dev-python/pygobject-2.14.2 Sat Apr 4 03:15:54 2009 >>> dev-python/pygtk-2.12.1-r2 Sat Apr 4 03:36:13 2009 >>> media-gfx/gimp-2.4.6 Sat Apr 4 03:41:01 2009 >>> gnome-base/libgnomeui-2.22.1 Sat Apr 4 03:41:45 2009 >>> app-arch/file-roller-2.22.4 Reinstalling gtk-engines-qt may not be strictly required, but I was sick of the issue by then, and decided to just recompile it and be done with it.

please don't select "component" if you don't know what it does, your bugs will have a better change of being handled quickly.
gtk-engines-qt-0.8 has been masked for removal with KDE3, won't be fixed.
