When running a Qt application with a debugger (gdb), the option --nograb is implicitly passed to the application. This prevents the application from stealing your keyboard, so you're still in control of the console where GDB runs if something goes wrong.
As a KDE user I got pretty tired of the ugly default looks of GTK applications (and also WX applications in Linux, they have the same looks). They looked cool in 1997, but these times are over now. And all the time I was too lazy to find out how I could theme GTK, but I didn't realize it was really simple. These are the steps on a Gentoo machine:
- First a new GTK theme is installed. This is a special one, because it uses Qt for all drawing operations.
emerge -av x11-themes/gtk-engines-qt
Debian is not (yet) my number one Linux distribution, and because of that I'm not really familiar with the procedures to do things cleanly regarding packages.
Some time ago I tried to install the Last.fm Player on a Debian system.
