Dear Aere,
The C4C Lubuntu 18.04 ReSpin now uses pkexec
[https://www.freedesktop.org/software/polkit/docs/0.015/pkexec.1.html]
in place of gksu. By utilizing the method put forth by and the
policy files created by Allen Guarnes
[https://www.allenguarnes.com/technology/resolving-the-missing-gksu-command-in-ubuntu-18-04/]
you should be able to do what you want and have everything look just
the same as it did. In ebery case I've tried, I've been able to
replace gksu with pkexec. For example, the command gksu pcmanfm can
be replaced with pkexec pcmanfm.

Hi,
I agree that pkexec is the current best practice. You will need to
make a pkexec file for the programs if they do not have one, though.
I am not sure though if systemd is replacing PolicyKit (they've
replaced many many many things). So this may be a temporary solution
(should work for a few years at least).
Aere,
I did some looking around and Arch (as per usual) has a really
helpful page about this
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Uniform_look_for_Qt_and_GTK_applications#QGtkStyle
tl;dr
If they are Qt4 apps
echo "[Qt]
style=GTK+" >> ~/.config/Trolltech.conf
If they are Qt5
sudo apt install qt5-style-plugins
Then you need to set this variable (so I am adding it to the xinitrc)
|echo "QT_QPA_PLATFORMTHEME=gtk2" >> .~/xinitrc|
This should get you back on track :D

Regards
Israel:
They are definitely qt5 applications.
I have attached a screenshot of the error dialog to this e-mail as a
".png" file.
I tried what you said to do for qt5, with results as follows:
qt5-style-plugins were already installed, and the latest version.
Your echo command didn't work. In reading the URL info, I think it
should have been:
|echo "QT_QPA_PLATFORMTHEME=gtk2" >> |||~/|.xinitrc
|
|But that didn't work either. Signing-in didn't work either.
|
|If I could just figure out where lxqt-sudo is defining
QT_STYLE_OVERRIDE, and remove it, I think I would be able to fix my
systems.

Sincerely,

With the helpful information you provided, I was able to finally figure
out how to fix my systems.
I edited the ".config/lxsession/lubuntu/desxtop.conf" file of my home
folder.
In the "[Environment]" section, I commented-out (put a period in front
of) the following lines:
qt/force_theme=gtk
qt/platform=lxqt
I then logged-out, and signed-in again. I can now run
Menu...Preferences...Qt5 Settings
But I don't have to - the problem (the strange dark color scheme, and
excessively large window sizes) has gone away.
Thank you for all your help, and also thanks for the suggestions of
others on this list.
