Hi,
I use gtk-qt-engine-trinity on a Debian Squeeze to have gtk-based apps look like qt3 ones. But I encounter "repaint" issues using some gtk based apps but not all of them. For example, iceweasel (firefox), openoffice.org have severe bugs that make menu entries (oo.org) or tabs to disappear (all painted in gray).
More precisely: correct graphics appears as appropriate but disappears when the mouse leaves the graphical pane of tabs, menu items, etc. I use iceweasel 7.0.1 and openoffice.org 3.2.1.
Is there any fix to this applicable for me?

No such problems here with gtk-qt-engine-trinity on 3 different machines.. Graphics driver issue?

Oh yes, I forgot to consider this. I fixed some issues in the past by tweaking oo.org rendering options, but I'm not sure this is possible with iceweasel (a quick look at about:config gave me nothing relevant to do so).
I'll try it for oo.org.
Thanks, Nicolas

Hey guys,
submitting bug reports and attaching steps to reproduce this would be great. I've worked on the gtk engine a bit, but it's often hard to reproduce the same bug twice.
I have noticed instability with a few apps as well: nm-applet, vuze, geany, firefox

Hello, I'm now trying to use gtk-qt-engine on my Mageia 2 computer. It makes my usual GTK2 applications (Firefox, Thunderbird, Geany ... almost the same as you said earlier) slow and very CPU-eating ! Sometimes they freeze at 99% CPU, I have to kill them (or wait several minutes to come back, but to freeze again soon). I have to uninstall gtk-qt-engine entirely to keep my TDE desktop usable with GTK applications.
Maybe we should ask the opposite question: are there people who have no trouble using gtk-qt-engine ?

Sorry for the late followup but I have it installed and enabled on Debian Squeeze (both trinity and non-trinity) and it seems to work without problems.
