ubuntu 8.10, qvlc does not set GUI font size

[Roman Pach]

Binary package hint: vlc

I'm working with ubuntu 8.10.
The kubuntu is installed on the computer as well.
The font size for every user on the computer has been set up using /usr/bin/systemsettings.

Problem:
While starting the qvlc (vlc with qt) the proper GUI font size is set only
for one of the users. I suppose he is the one, who called the vlc
as the first one after vlc has been installed.

The used packages:

kubuntu-desktop 1.101
vlc 0.9.4-1ubuntu3
systemsettings 4:4.1.3-0ubuntu1~intrepid1

Qt version ?
What does qtconfig says?

qt version: 4.4.3-0ubuntu1.x

I've tested it once more. I have done the following steps:

1. the PC runs with the Ubuntu
2. to use the KDE tools (e.g. Konqueror) the kubuntu desktop has been
installed as well.
3. the new user has been created and loged in
4. the font size has been set using systemsettings
5. the vlc player has been called
6. at this moment the font size is not correct !!!

   systemsettings shows the new font type and size
   qtconfig shows the old (default?) value

--- THE FOLLOWING has helped ---

7. the systemsettings has been called some more times to change the the
   Appearance -> Style
8. the font type and size are correct now
   systemsettings and qtconfig show the same font type and size

There have been a large number of bugfixes with the latest VLC release, 1.0.0~rc2-1ubuntu1. Can you reproduce your issue with this latest version? You can test this in Ubuntu Karmic, or Ubuntu Jaunty with the MOTU Media PPA at https://launchpad.net/~motumedia/+archive/ppa . Thanks in advance.
