Re: F9 + KDE 4.0 (and 4.1) + Inkscape (missing color picker widgets) [SOLVED]

Just wanted to follow-up, since the inkscape devs helped me find a work-around.

So apparently these 3 color pickers are tied to the GTK-Qt theme
engine (gtk-qt-engine-1.1-1.fc9.x86_64, for me), and the 'wheel' color
picker isn't, which explains why the 'wheel' still worked, while the
other 3 exhibited the unexpected behaviour.

The work-around is to use a non-Qt theme for GTK apps (btw, this is in
KDE 4.0, and 4.1). This can be done at:

System Settings -> Appearance -> GTK Styles and Fonts -> (under GTK
Styles) Use another style

...it seems like any option other than 'Qt' will restore the color
pickers behaviour back to expected behaviour.

I tried reporting a bug to the GTK-Qt theme engine guys, but it seems
their trac system is down. At any rate, hope this helps someone if
they run into a similar problem.

Cheers.
