I understand.

I may do that.

So you're saying you've verified the bug I reported is occurring on your systems
there as well?

As far as it rendering the system unusable is concerned, I can't help but wonder
why something so critical has only been considered "normal" severity and took so
long to address.

BTW, a few weeks after I first reported this, I found a temporary workaround.
Before logging out of KDE I'd delete the .gtk_qt_engine_rc file from my home
directory.  That would solve the problem and allow me to log in to and use GNOME
as normal.  When I logged back in to KDE it would just re-create the file.

In any event, thanks for your attention to this matter.
