When making use of the gtk-engines-qt package (version 0.7-r1) and seelcting in the KDE control panel for GTK apps to use the look'n'feel and fonts of KDE, a variable gets written to ~/.bashrc The variable is set as such in mentioned file: export GTK2_RC_FILES="$HOME/.gtkrc-2.0:$HOME/.kde/share/config/gtkrc-2.0:/etc/gtk-2.0/gtkrc" The problem IO am seeing is that the location of setting the variable is not a good idea, since then the variable persists when you exit KDE and start a GNOME session. The result is that Gnome does not start correctly and is barely unuseable. Removing the variable and restarting everything makes GNOME work correctly again. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. emerge gtk-engines-qt 2. Use KDE Control Center to apply KDE themes and fonts to GTK applications 3. Log out of KDE and log in to GNOME Actual Results: Gnome stops working. GNome Setting Daemon crashes repeatedly. Expected Results: Gnome should work correctly. This has been fixed in CVS upstream, but there is no package out. In the meantim my suggestion is forthe ebuild to use a different location for setting the GTK2_RC_FILES variable. A location that will be picked up by KDE but not by GNOME. Additionally it's probably a good idea to make the file that the variable points to not bt ~/.gtkrc-2.0 byt something else as I suspect that file might be overwritten by GNOME control panel or other apps. Someone more knowledgeable may be able to suggest a better solution. This is my 1st bug report. Thanks!!!

Not KDE.
gtk-engines-qt has same effect for Xfce 4.4, it doesn't start.
This seems to be fixed in the svn trunk. Can you please test if this is the case and maybe provide a svn snapshot ebuild?
Hello, I installed SVN code. It creates a .desktop file that I had to manually move to /usr/kde/3.5/share/applications before the option showed in the KDE control panel but otherwise seems to work fine. Gnome continues to work after applying the settings and it does not default to the "QT" theme which is a good thing. I am sorry to not provide an ebuild :-( The code now uses cmake to build and I have no idea how to create an ebuild, although I tried copying the current one and modifying it a bit, with no success.
Just dont use it if you use xfce or gnome for now. I will wait for upstream to release a new version(I mailed them about it) or for you to give me an ebuild for it. Thanks
Created attachment 114538 [details] SVN ebuild I created an SVN ebuild that I am attaching. This is my first ebuild ever, so bear with me. The .desktop file created should be moved automatically somewhere useful for KDE, I don't know how to do that, butmaybe comeone can 'fix her up' and find it useful. Cheers.
Reopening because I added an attachment. Not sure if it's the right thing to do. Anyways, if someone finds it useful, more power to you, else just close again. Regards.
2. A user submits a "live" CVS ebuild. What would be a preferable alternative to such an ebuild? That is one of the questions in the ebuild quiz that every new developer needs to pass. I will answer it for you: A svn/cvs snapshot ebuild. Based on a snapshot we can sure that upstream makes no incompatibe changes or introduces new breakage. Can you please make a snapshot and an ebuild for that? Like gtk-qt-engine-0.7_p20070327.tar.bz2 and gtk-engines-qt-0.7_p20070327.ebuild

Stefan, thanks for the insight, that was kind of stupid on my part. I would imagine any kind of live CVS ebuild should not make it into portage, it just makes sense. I'm making a snapshot ebuild as we speak (heh) only thing is the SRC_URI is goint to be wrong, of course, but if it makes it into portage, the tarball should be on the mirrors, so I guess that shouldn't be a problem. I'll give it a go. It won't be perfect, that's for sure!!
thanks added to the tree, sorry for the long waiting time
