Hi,

I'm using Ubuntu 11.04 with Gnome 2 (a.k.a. the "Ubuntu Classic" shell) and the "New Wave" theme from the official repositories.

This installation started out as 10.04, and was then immediately upgraded to 10.10. I had to do that because 10.10 wouldn't install directly because of some bug.

It worked fine until I upgraded to 11.04, now I've got a bug whereby Qt apps don't render properly.

See the image here:

Now if I open the "Qt 4 Settings" tool and set it to Cleanlooks:

As you can see, it works correctly with Cleanlooks, but with it set to "Desktop Settings (default)", it is impossible to see the current selection, dividers etc.

This affects all Qt4 applications.

I have tried installing the package including the theme from 10.10 and that didn't help so I'm inclined to think it's not New Wave that is at fault here. Perhaps it's something that was changed for Unity?

(I'd rather not switch to a different theme, this one works for me. And I'd switch to Linux Mint but I've got all my stuff set up on here :mad:)

Also I just tried creating a clean account and setting that theme, same problem.
