The bug is still present in kubuntu 8.10 (kde 4.1.4).
Symlinking files from user's home to root doesn't seem safe to me.
Maybe as a temporary workaround knowing which files define the style of applications (both qt and gtk) may be useful to copy them from the user home to root one.
In any way the above command:
sudo ln -s ~/.gtkrc-2.0-kde /root/.gtkrc-2.0
seems wrong; I think it should be:
sudo ln -s ~/.kde/share/config/gtkrc-2.0-kde /root/.kde/share/config/gtkrc-2.0
Do you agree?
