Bug Description

Binary package hint: unity

I upgraded from Maverick, and the settings (which I can't figure out how to reverse) in unity make the qt apps look terrible. Specifically, Kile can't find icons for half of the entries in its menus, and some of the widgets just look terrible (see attached image). I'm filing it as a bug as it shouldn't be the intended behavior, but I'll be satisfied if I can just figure out how to tell the interface to *not* try to override the display settings for qt apps, so that they look normal again.

I see a similar behavior in Inkscape. The widgets look OK, but most of the menu icons are missing (see attached screenshot). I presume this is the same underlying issue?

Looks like appmenu-qt doesn't send the icons of the menu items properly.

I can confirm the problem of missing icons in almost every KDE-application with the global menu in Unity. But in case of Inkscape: I suppose it's not a bug of appmenu-qt but appmenu-gtk (e.g. Bug #882464 ).

Yes. The icons show up in gnome-shell, but not in unity.
