Installing budgie-desktop-common causes QT applications on other environments to use GTK+ 2 dialogs

[Oded Arbel]

As part of the Budgie desktop installation, the budgie-desktop-common package installs a file /etc/profile.d/10-budgie-desktop.sh that unconditionally sets the QT QPA platform theme to GTK+ 2 :

/etc/profile.d/10-budgie-desktop.sh - line 7:
export QT_QPA_PLATFORMTHEME=gtk2

This is unacceptable that installing Budgie modifies the behavior of other environments. The correct way to do this is to check if the current session is for Budgie desktop by checking the XDG_SESSION_DESKTOP variable and only forcing the Budgie configuration if it is the currently running desktop session.
