CraigD (QtCurve's developer) has found what's going on here (comment quoted below):
This is a KUbuntu problem. The problem is that KUbuntu sets QtCurve as its default KDE3, and Oxygen the default KDE4 theme. When you run a KDE3 app, it sees that you have QtCurve set - but because this is also the default, it removes the entry from the kdeglobals config file. So, when you now start a KDE4 app, the style has been set back to the default - oxygen. To work-around this, you can use QtCurve's config dialog and select 'Export theme...' from its menu button. This will create a file named 'qtc_????.themerc' Then just copy this file to ~/.kde/share/apps/kstyle/themes/ Run 'kbuildsycoca4', then re-run kcmshell4 style - and select your new style (it should appear as its own entry in the main style selector) -- QtCurve style is not remembered https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/281016 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to kdebase-workspace in ubuntu. -- kubuntu-bugs mailing list kubuntu-b...@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/kubuntu-bugs
