(Sorry - I initially sent this from the wrong e-mail address)
To mount my NFS drive on my local client systems, I needed something
to get ask the user for root privilege.
On Lubuntu 16.04, I used gksu, but on Lubuntu 18.04, that package
appears to be unavailable.
So in its place, I installed lxqt-sudo, and used that.
However, after installing that, a number of applications no longer
have their normal Gnome look-and-feel, but instead, have a dark look,
and take up a huge (much more than necessary) amount of screen
real-estate.
The applications I'm having this problem with, are:
qjackctl
qsynth
qmidiroute
Does anyone know how I can change them back to their former Gnome
look-and-feel (or even explain what has happened)?
The strange thing is, on some of my 18.04 systems, this didn't happen
- those applications still have their usual Gnome look-and-feel.
I have been unable to determine why it is okay on some of my systems,
and not on other systems.

Aere,
Those are Qt apps, are you using LXDE or LXQt?
If you are using LXDE then, installing lxqt-sudo probably installed some
more things, and changed a Qt setting.
You can make sure you have the Qt GTK+ engine
sudo apt install qt5-gtk-platformtheme
This hopefully will fix it. If not, look for a Qt settings (or KDE
settings) in your /usr/share/applications/
Then launch this and change it to the qt gtk+ engine
Israel:
Thank you for your expertise, and your ideas.
I am using LXDE.
I performed the apt install qt5-gtk-platformtheme statement. It
indicated the latest version of it was already installed, and the newest
version.
I launched qjackctl, and it still has the strange, dark, look-and-feel.
I couldn't find anything in /usr/share/applications/ that resembled QT
settings, or KDE settings. In Synaptic Package Manager, I searched for
"kde-settings", "kdesettings", "qt-settings", and "qtsettings", but none
of those searches found anything.
Is there something I could install that would allow me to change the
settings?
