I think KDE has something like a GTK-QT-Engine. It tries to apply the qt theme to gtk applications. I'm guessing something is wrong with that. Could you try disabling it? Found some documentation on: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Uniform_Look_for_QT_and_GTK_Applications According to that, you want to go to: Control Center (kcontrol) --> Appearance & Themes --> GTK Styles and Fonts Suggest also pinging on IRC (#mageia-dev on freenode) as that is a bit easier than emails. -- Regards, Olav
