Public bug reported: Install ubuntu dapper. Install a qt-based application, e.g. amarok (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Amarok)
Note huge fonts, compared to those of gnome. This might be a more general bug: unification of settings across Gnome and KDE, but I guess this is the domain of freedesktop.org. The default for QT applications should be more sensible, or match the Gnome settings in place at the time of installation of the first QT application. ** Affects: gnome-desktop (Ubuntu) Severity: Wishlist Priority: (none set) Status: Unconfirmed -- Default QT appearance in GNOME is unsightly https://launchpad.net/bugs/40510 -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
