The theme is correct when launched from Unity + launcher or terminal. Please see the attached screenshots. I've tracked it down to a difference in environment in the VLC process: When launched from indicator-sound, the variable GNOME_DESKTOP_SESSION_ID is unset, and this causes VLC to become themed incorrectly. (If the variable is given any value, then VLC looks correct.) To reproduce, either: 1) Launch VLC from indicator-sound (make sure it's not already running and has been started from somewhere else) 2) Or just start VLC like this from terminal: $ GNOME_DESKTOP_SESSION_ID= vlc - Not sure whether this is a general bug in QT (since, apparently, - GNOME_SESSION_DESKTOP_ID is deprecated), a bug in indicator-sound for - not setting GNOME_SESSION_DESKTOP_ID, or just a bug in VLC. + Looks like a bug in qt4, which seems to depend on + GNOME_DESKTOP_SESSION_ID being set [to anything] to pick up the correct + theme. + + Try: + $ GNOME_DESKTOP_SESSION_ID= qtconfig + + Observe theme not picked up from "Desktop settings" in qtconfig.
