Version: (using KDE 4.3.0) OS: Linux Installed from: openSUSE RPMs 0. Install openSUSE 11.2 and Tomboy (1.0.0) 1. Run `tomboy --search` to start Tomboy with its Search All Notes window open 2. Attempt to enter a query in the search field Expected results: Can type in search field Actual results: No such luck, unless I switch the GTK+ theme to Clearlooks. Crux, Gilouche, and QtCurve trigger this bug on openSUSE 11.2. Please note that Crux and Gilouche work just fine if I use GNOME instead of KDE. I am not familiar with KDE, but I am the upstream Tomboy maintainer, so I would appreciate any help tracking down this problem. A distro bug has also been filed here by a user: https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=557611
Probably it could be a QtGtk issue, not a KDE one.
(In reply to comment #1) > Probably it could be a QtGtk issue, not a KDE one. Where would I file a bug for QtGtk?
If you can reproduce the bug with Qt 4.6.0 packages, you can report the bug at Nokia Bugtracker: http://bugreports.qt.nokia.com/
Wait, what we wrote is nonsense. Tomboy isn't an Qt application trying to use a GTK style, so QtGtk (or anything else from Qt) is not related to the bug. Please don't bother Nokia :) I would like to know how openSUSE does its "KDE integration" for GTK apps, i.e. do they use a theming engine (there are at least two that I know of), or do they use a native GTK style, such as QtCurve, which can be configured to look the same under both KDE and GNOME?
I don't know if what openSUSE does is at all divergent from upstream KDE, but when I go to Appearances I have a panel specifically for GTK+ theming, where I can pick what GTK+ theme to use. The default is somehow blank (I suspect it's QtCurve), and exhibits this bug. As I stated in the original summary, some GTK+ theme selections work and some don't (even though those same themes work fine when used in GNOME).
Upstream KDE has no module in SystemSettings/Appearance to change GTK theming, so openSUSE added some foreign package. This is the list of theming engines that I know of: http://code.google.com/p/gtk-qt-engine/ http://www.kde-look.org/content/show.php/gtk-kde4?content=74689 The latter is still actively developed (with an update last week), while the former seems no longer.
It looks gtk-qt-engine.
