Description Tuomas Salokanto 2016-04-02 08:03:59 UTC 
When I open qt-themed appliaction from for example Plank (dock) icon, Synapse menu, from command line, it has an ugly theme that cannot be changed. It always looks the same, icons missing etc. On the other hand, when I open the same application from KDE-menu, or the KDE search bar on desktop, the application theme is correct.

I cannot remember when this behaviour started, but it was before 5.6 for sure.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open for example systemsettings5 from command line
2. Open System Settings from KDE menu
3. Compare

WM is bspwm, but not relevant to the problem.

Put the wrong "not working" link in original post. 

In the original link there is two sessions of transmission-qt open, left one from kde-menu, right one from anywhere else

You're missing some env values.

Chances are either:
 - you have a bash profile unsetting them
 - you're not using a proper display manager /startkde script.
