** Summary changed:

- 7.10: Qt3 ~/.qt owner root and missing qtrc result result in ugly appearance
+ 7.10: Qt3 /etc/qt3/qtrc owner root result in ugly appearance

** Description changed:

- I've recently installed Virtualbox, the Ubuntu Feisty package on Ubuntu
- Gutsy (amd64, tribe 5), since there's no newer release. Everything works
- fine, except for the part that the Qt looks ugly.
+ --Changed by Saïvann--
  
- I tried to change the files, but the qtconfig-qt3 wouldn't save them, 
complaining:
- QSettings::sync: filename is null/empty
- I've then checked the ~/.qt directory in the home, and its owner was 
root:root, hence it doesn't allow the user to save their settings in ~/.qt/qtrc
+ /etc/qt3 folder is missing or empty with very low permissions (
+ drwxr----- 2 root root ).
  
- A quick fix would be:
- sudo apt-get install qtconfig-qt3
- sudo chown -R `whoami`:`whoami` ~/.qt
- qtconfig-qt3
+ Because the /etc/qt3/qtrc file doesn't exist or cannot be accessed
+ because of the low permissions of the /etc/qt3 folder, all qt3 programs
+ have HUGE fonts and become near to unusable.
  
- I'm also providing a nice "theme", you just have to save it as ~/.qt/qtrc 
like so:
- sudo apt-get install qtconfig-qt3
- sudo chown -R `whoami`:`whoami` ~/.qt
- gedit ~/.qt/qtrc
- and then paste the following and do qtconfig-qt3 when you're done
+ This problem is caused by the absence of the "/etc" value in the
+ debian/libqt3-mt.install file, so the package won't install his config
+ files to /etc/qt3.
+ 
+ A quick workaround to fix that problem is to create the /etc/qt3 folder
+ and create the file "qtrc" into that folder. qtrc file should contain
+ this:
