Re: KDE 4.5 : cannot chnage widget style as sudo/kdesudo/root
I always run it with kdesudo, but the problem still exists.

Re: KDE 4.5 : cannot chnage widget style as sudo/kdesudo/root
I think it was something to do with sudo's environment setting, which kdesudo would work the same I imagine.
That's why I had to use kdesu not kdesudo.
It's longshot I know.Comment

Yeah, but kdesu is deprecated in Kubuntu KDE 4. kdesudo only works.Most important laptop specs (this is my main computer, with Kubuntu on it):<br /><br />4096MB RAM (DDR2)<br />500GB Hard Disk<br />ATI Mobility Radeon 4570HD Videocard with 512MB GDDR3 RAM, up to 2280MB VRAM<br />Intel® Core™ 2 Duo-processor T6600<br /><br />OS: Kubuntu 10.10Comment

kdesu is still there, just "hidden from sight":Originally posted by Vistaus

Maybe someone could have a look how mint does it?
I don't have a mint install anymore but I know synaptic comes up with the oxygen theme.Comment

Re: KDE 4.5 : cannot chnage widget style as sudo/kdesudo/root
Same here. I always use kdesudo for Gui apps, and the bug is still there.Originally posted by Vistaus
Don't have Mint here anymore, and not going to touch it anymore - they simply messed up too much things.Originally posted by x-shaney-x
Synaptic is a completely different matter, as it is a Gtk app and not a Kde app. On my Synaptic run as root I can get the QtCurve style just fine (if I set it with kdesudo gtk-chtheme).Originally posted by x-shaney-x
The bug affects only Kde app run as root (using kdesudo), not Gtk apps run as root.Shinda Sekai Sensen<br /><br />Kubuntu Maverick RC x64 w/ Kde 4.5.2 (main)<br />Kubuntu 10.04 x64 w/ Kde 4.5.1to be wiped, no point in keeping it any longerComment

Re: KDE 4.5 : cannot chnage widget style as sudo/kdesudo/root
Hi! I've found the solution here: http://ohioloco.ubuntuforums.org/sho....php?t=1557864
The last but one post says how to solve it:
Try running 'kdesudo systemsettings' then open 'application appearance'. In the style category, choose anything other than 'oxygen' for 'widget style'. Click apply. Now go back and choose 'oxygen'again for 'widget style'. Click apply. Close systemsettings then run 'kdesudo dolphin'. Dolphin when used with kdesudo should now be themed.
For me it's working!!
Another tip: If someone want to have the KDE style on GTK apps, do this:
sudo cp ~/.gtkrc-2.0-kde4 /root/.gtkrc-2.0Comment

Re: KDE 4.5 : cannot chnage widget style as sudo/kdesudo/root
What sort of moronic advice is that? When you switch from Oxygen to another style and back to Oxygen, it then automagically divines what style you want to have and applies it? Most certainly not!Originally posted by Fenix-TX
This does absolutely *nothing* to have a style *different* from Oxygen (e.g. QtCurve) for Kde apps run as root, which is what this bug is all about!
You mean, you can now have styles *other* than Oxygen for Kde apps run as root?Originally posted by Fenix-TX
I seriously doubt that.
No need for that, simply run kdesudo gtk-chtheme to select the style you want to have in Gtk apps run as root (Synaptic etc).Originally posted by Fenix-TXShinda Sekai Sensen<br /><br />Kubuntu Maverick RC x64 w/ Kde 4.5.2 (main)<br />Kubuntu 10.04 x64 w/ Kde 4.5.1to be wiped, no point in keeping it any longerComment

Re: KDE 4.5 : cannot chnage widget style as sudo/kdesudo/root
So you got it indeed working... very interesting.Originally posted by Fenix-TX
Ok, I ran kdesudo systemsettings, switched to a different style, clicked Apply, changed back to Oxygen, clicked Apply, and closed sytemsettings again. Just as expected however, kdesudo dolphin still has the Oxygen style - *nothing* has changed.
You must've done something else which made styles apply properly for Kde apps run as root, and which has *nothing* to do with that hint from that ubuntuforums post.
What else did you do?
