[gentoo-user] QT Applications all are Stuck in a Broken Theme.

[TheXzoron]

Basically after I deleted various files in my user's /home folder
because it was getting full of configuration files for programs that I
didn't use, all qt applications got stuck in this hard to read theme
when I did not have any theme set.

Trying to change to theme to something else in qtconfig changes very
little and the text in QT applications is always borderline unreadable.
I have also tried reinstalling everything QT related from the binaries
that got created with buildpkg but the problem still persists. It may
also be worth noting that GTK+ in qtconfig, which I used so QT programs
would look consistant with my GTK theme is not there and setting it
manually in Trolltech.conf makes it say Unknown.

What could I do to resolve this problem?

Turns out I had something mis-configured in my .Xdefaults file however,
It's still weird how I had this set wrong for months and it never showed
sooner.
