Package: libqt5gui5 Version: 5.4.2+dfsg-9 Severity: normal Dear maintainer,
When running kf5 applications under some Desktop Environments (apparently anything but GNOME and Plasma), the GUI is quite broken: most (but not all) of the icons are missing. Example of packages applications include marble, dolphin. The applications generate this kind of messages: QPixmap::scaled: Pixmap is a null pixmap Apparently, this is because [1]: > Unlike Qt4, Qt5 doesn't ship a qtconfig utility to configure fonts, > icons or styles. Instead, it will try to use the settings from the > running DE. In KDE or GNOME this works well, but in other less > popular DEs or WM it can lead to missing icons in Qt5 > applications. One way to solve this is to fake the running desktop > environment by setting XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP=KDE or GNOME, and then > using the corresponding configuration application to set the desired > icon set. Indeed, this is solved by setting any of: QT_STYLE_OVERRIDE=Fusion XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP=KDE XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP=GNOME It'd be nice to have a "sane" behaviour by default without having to hack some initialisation shell scripts in order to set an environment variable.
