I know this is a minor thing, but a) it's bugging me, and b) it's bugging me more that I can't fix it! :-) I thought someone here might be having the same problem and/or know how to help.

Although I'm an XFCE user, I still use KDE's konqueror as my file manager. (Old habits die hard. Plus, I've not yet found a file manager that's better.) I use qtcurve as my widget style throughout my system - i.e., both with KDE/QT apps and with GTK apps - and so am able to achieve a uniform look to my UI, which I like very much.

A few days ago, though, a recent pacman upgrade messed up konqueror's widget display and I can't seem to figure out how to get it back. Normally, konqueror displays like so:

(Note the ">" icons in the sidebar on the left, for expanding the tree.)

And konqueror still is displaying itself this way when I run it under any other DE (KDE, fluxbox, etc.). However, when I run it under XFCE (my DE of choice), it displays like so:

http://www.darose.net/KonquerorUnderXFCE.png

(Note the use of the windows-style "+" icons in the sidebar.)

I find this situation very odd and irritating:

1) Why is this only happening under XFCE?
2) Why is this only happening in the *sidebar* portion of the window? (If you look at the XFCE screenshot, konqueror is clearly using the qtcurve-style arrow widgets in other portions of the GUI.)

Anyone else experience this and/or have any idea what pacman update caused this and/or have any idea how to fix?

TIA!
