JillSwift Posted December 5, 2009 Report Share Posted December 5, 2009 I installed "gtk-qt-engine" recently, to make all the gtk apps i use look more consistent under KDE. Firefox 3.5.5 didn't seem to like that. On shutting down Firefox, it would either segfault (which wasn't so bad) or firefox-bin would exit, and firefox would become a runaway process (which was quite bad). gtk-chtheme and qt-curve turn out to be much better for making apps look more consistent. Just an FYI for anyone who might not know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daniewicz Posted December 6, 2009 Report Share Posted December 6, 2009 This must be a KDE 4 problem? I am running Mandriva 2008.1 with KDE 3.5.9 and Firefox 3.5.5 and gtk-qt-engine without trouble. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JillSwift Posted December 6, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 6, 2009 Yep, it's KDE4. (Should have been more specific, sowwy!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kieth Posted December 7, 2009 Report Share Posted December 7, 2009 (edited) KDE 4? I disinstalled it and put on gnome. First time in many, many years. Actually, I disinstalled 2010.0 x86_64 KDE4 and installed 2010.0 gmone .586. I was having too many problems. Among other things, Firefox never did work well.

JillSwift Posted December 7, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 7, 2009 Some of us are still afraid of KDE4 B) I don't know why. I've been using it for weeks now and I've only lost a little finger, my left eye, and part of my upper right leg. Beats my first encounter with Novell Netware, any way. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ianw1974 Posted December 7, 2009 Report Share Posted December 7, 2009 I'd rather play with Novell NetWare any day. I started back in the days of NetWare 3.1x :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scarecrow Posted December 7, 2009 Report Share Posted December 7, 2009 (edited) KDE 4.3.X is just great. gtk-qt engine isn't, I suggest switching to the uniform qtcurve theme for your kde4/qt4/qt3/gtk+ apps. Yes, I dο know it's the suggested solution by Canonical, but this doesn't necessarily mean it's crap!
