Ah, ok now I see your problem. And it is indeed a problem since we
introduced this feature (which appears to be a bug for you) as a fix of
a few other important bugs (like #296657). There was a problem where you
couldn't change the theme under gnome anymore once you've set it to
gtk-qt-engine under KDE. Because of this conflict we decided to separate
the KDE config from the rest which seemed reasonable since usually you
don't want gtk-qt-engine when you're not running a QT based desktop
environment.

A workaround this bug could be to source the .gtkrc-2.0-kde in your
remote .bashrc (or whatever shell you use), but please note that then
you enable gtk-qt-engine for all desktop environments for you on this
machine (which could cause problems).

I fear there is nothing else we can do about your bug, but I'll forward
it to the author of gtk-qt-engine David, just in case.

@David: this is a bugreport from a user starting gtk apps from a remote
server on his local machine. Before our .gtkrc-2.0-kde-patch they were
themed like KDE apps, after our patch they appear like GTK apps again.
The problem obviously is that on the remote machine does not start KDE
(or any other DE) so the .gtkrc-2.0-kde config gets not sourced. Do you
have an idea how to help him?


Cheers,

Bastian
