The OP of that thread seems to have experienced what I am experiencing.
No, you suggestion (thanks) makes no difference.

Try running this in a shell:

XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP=kde gwenview


If it solves the issue, you will need to export "XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP=kde".

No, I'm using Fluxbox to manage my desktop, but want to use KDE apps.
I've installed Systemsettings,
but 'systemsettings5' offers a rather limited choice

& setting icon theme to Oxygen makes no difference to Gwenview.

Thanks so far ; any further suggestions are most welcome.

Thanks for correcting me, i mixed it up a bit. But after looking in into the 
init-system I found the problem (or at least I fixed it).

Since the init did not work I tried:
# openrc sysinit

and got some errors I can not fully recall. So I took a look at dmesg (needed 
to use the command, since the file did not get created) I saw: the problem was 
a segfault in libselinux. I switched to the live-cd mounted all partitions 
chrooted in it, then I reemerged the whole system (emerge -ae world), because I 
wanted to be sure to go safe. After this I double checked the kernel 
configuration again and rebuild it as well (the same with the initramfs). This 
solved the problem, at least for me (finally I have the right keyboardlayout 
loaded on boot ;-).

Thanks for all your help pointing me in the right direction (especially with 
/proc/mounts which cleared the way). I learned quite a lot and got my system 
running the I want.
