Bug Description

Binary package hint: gtk-qt-engine-kde4

Using gtk-qt-engine-kde4 1.1.0 and Pidgin 2.4.0, Pidgin's scrollbar doesn't turn blue as it should when moused over. The scrollbars of other applications (e.g. Firefox) do turn blue as expected.

Also effects Thunderbird.

Seems that Firefox 3 is the only application the scroll bars work properly in, because it doesn't work in gnome-mud either.

Also, all of Thunderbird's scrollbars are also extremely short, even if they shouldn't be.

I can confirm this on current Hardy.

The package dropped the -kde4 extension in Intrepid, so invalidating the -kde4 task.

Sadly, gtk-qt-engine is a quite broken piece of software and has been removed from distribution. (See bug 404930)
Unfortunately this means that the large number of bugs will not be seeing fixes. :(

For now, the best integration option for KDE is the QtCurve style, (gtk2-engines-qtcurve) which offers a theme quite similar to the default Oxygen theme. The configuration module for gtk-qt-engine has been salvaged and is now living in the kcm-gtk package, which will be available and installed by default in Kubuntu 9.10.

Thanks for understanding. This package tried its best, but in the end did not live up to the standards required by anybody who doesn't like looking at a broken Oxygen imitation.
