[Bug 289540] [NEW] Qt4 apps have wrong color scheme under KDE4

[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

You have been subscribed to a public bug:

WARNING: this bug affects all the distros shipping with KDE 4.1.2
(Kubuntu 8.10, Mandriva 2009.0 and openSUSE 11.1) so this is definitely
an upstream bug (any Qt/KDE team member 'round here?)

Launching a Qt4 (non KDE4) application (Picard, Avidemux2 Qt version and
so on) while running a KDE 4.1.2 session results in a wrong applied
colour-scheme (see the attachment), to be more precise all the scheme's
colours selected through SystemSettings' colors panel are applied the
right way except for the selection colour, which is turned in a deep
blue colour (in the color range #00007B ~ #0000A3, I was unable to find
a flat-coloured style to identify the specific colour) only for Qt4
apps.

After doing some research through strace logs I've found that all Qt4
related apps read ~/.conf/Trolltech.conf a few times during startup and
by deleting all the colour-related lines in the [qt] section of this
file the problem seems to be solved (only on Kubuntu and of course this
'hack' must be repeated each time modified settings in SystemSettings'
colour and style panels are applied or qtconf-qt4 is used).

It's a weird, weird bug IMHO. I tried to find something about this one
on google but the only thing I've found is an unconfirmed bug report on
bugs.kde.org (http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=168200) dating back to
August.

I hope this small report could be of any help.
