[gentoo-dev] AA and KDE in gentoo - still not solved - anyone uses AA here?

[Viktor Lakics <lakicsv@usa.net>]

Dear All,

DOes anyone uses AA outhere in kde?

I tried this trick (putting QT_XFT=1 to ~/.xinitrc) to make all my KDE to be
AA-ed, without success. I did not even have .xinitrc in ~, ( /root - right now
I set up everything as root and worry about permissions for users later), so I
created it, but it did not help at all. (I have initdefault 4 set in inittab,
and it seems that it works without .xinitrc)

Then I tried to put QT_XFT=1 to the startkde script in various places -
nothing happened. I even tried to shutdown kdm to console mode, and log in
again to a normal konsole, set QT_XFT=1, export QT_XFT, and then start kdm -
no dice.

But once I am already in KDE, fire up a konsole window and set QT_XFT=1, AA
works, as long as I start the apps from THAT VERY SAME konsole. The rest of
the KDE is still not AA-ed though...(The checkbox in kcontrol -look&feel -
style - use AA is switched on, of course)

To make it even more confusing, there is a single program (kppp) which is
AA-ed (after setting the GUI AA option on) even if I do not start it from a
konsole where I previously set QT_XFT=1...

I am really confused now... Why on earth the GUI control for AA only works on
kppp, but not for the rest?! How can I let KDE know that I want AA
everywhere?
