KFileDialog replacing QFileDialog

[Jeremy Sanders]

I've filed a bug here listing problems when some part of the KDE/Qt system 
appears to be replacing QFileDialog (the Qt file dialog) with KFileDialog 
(the KDE file dialog) in my Qt/PyQt application: 
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=570090

I've filed this under Qt, but maybe someone knows whether it is KDE doing 
this, and whether it is possible to turn off this (currently) buggy 
behaviour, at least for my application.

Thanks

Jeremy

Which style are you using? I believe that this is implemented by the 
Oxygen style, so you might try running your application with the option 
'-style plastique' on the command line...

Yes - oxygen. I've just tried the '-style plastique' option and it does 
change the application style. Unfortunately I still get the KDE dialog boxes 
(I've also tried the windows, cleanlooks, cde and motif styles).

I've also poked in the Qt source, but I can't see where QFileDialog-
> KFileDialog happens.

Thanks

KDE 4.4 provides a GUI platform plugin for Qt, see:
/usr/lib(64)/kde4/plugins/gui_platform/libkde.so
