Can someone verify some gtk-qt-engine package weirdness?
* Ensure another DE is installed. * Remove any traces of TDE from /etc/ld.so.conf and run ldconfig. * Disable related TDE /etc/profile.d scripts. * Boot into the other DE. * Launch a terminal window. * Ensure no traces of TDE are in the environment variables, $PATH, etc. * Type a GTK GUI command to launch. * Verify TDE is trying to intercept the command to control the GTK theme.
In my case I was trying to launch meld from the command line. I repeatedly encountered a TDE crash dialog:
TDECrash: Application 'python-gtk-tqt-application' crashing.
The message is derived from the package qt_qt_wrapper.cpp.
This happened to me in both KDE and Xfce.
Removing the gtk-qt-engine package resolves the problem.
Being buggy or stale code is one thing, but why is TDE and the gtk-qt-engine package even functional when using a different DE?
