[Bug 36046] Re: Mismatched artwork when using both ubuntu-desktop and kubuntu-desktop

[VincentRC]

It's me, again...

Ok, thanks to the intervention of Daniele Favara in the bug report number 40072, I have been able to make some tests, and I have observed some interesting things.

Indeed, as I said in my comment about an conflict between kubuntu-desktop and xubuntu-desktop (see here : https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+source/xubuntu-meta/+bug/40072)
It seems that there is conflict between every gtk based desktop environment and qt/kde.

So, he told me "[...] anyway all the problems you can have whit
kubuntu-desktop and xubuntu-desktop installed came from just one file
... to have gtk app looking like qt ones there is a file on your home
dir." (~/gtkrc-2.0), and indeed, the problem was solved by deleting the gtkrc-2.0 file just before logging to xfce.

Then I tested the same thing just before logging into gnome, and everything was solved too !
Icons, menus, everything in gnome was normal (orange, not blue anymore), and openoffice's icons were not disappearing anymore too !

So now, you have a more precise idea of the problem, even if I think you already knew (lol !), but maybe not as this issue has been assigned to the ubuntu-artwork team.
Maybe it should be assigned to the kde/kubuntu team, as this file (~/gtkrc-2.0) is created by kde ?

Vincent (so happy to contribute ! Lol !)
