[arch-general] kde control center "Use my KDE style in GTK applications" causes ooo buttons to disappear

[Adriano Moura]

I had some of these problems, it seems that going to "Appearence &
Themes" > Colors and unchecking "Apply colors to non KDE applications"
fixes some weired color and flat pannels (no gradients at all)
problems.

Now, the icon and menus problem should be caused by the gtk-qt-engine
AND an specific theme you are using. I think that you should avoid it
and use native themes like the gtk one that Ondřej Kučera specified.
