qt 3.0.5 styles

I've upgraded qt this morning to 3.0.5, and after I've done that all the styles that were new to 3.0.4 (rather I guess 3.x, e.g., dotnet, light, etc.) have disappeared. Trolltech's website (the changelog) says that 3.0.5 handles plugins differently and they all need to be recompiled with 3.0.5 for them to work. I'm guessing styles have disappeared because of that (the actual libraries (dotnet.la, dotnet.so, etc.) are at the proper location, but I'm guessing they are from the old version). First of all, can anyone confirm this behavior, or is it just me and I've screwed something up. And if it's not just me then can anybody give any advice on how to fix it. I'm especially interested in dotNet style, so if anybody can point me to its source code and installation instructions, I would appreciate it.

You must recompile kdelibs.

But first, take my advice, go back to Qt 3.0.4 if you plan to use KDE.

Thanks for your response.

But first, take my advice, go back to Qt 3.0.4 if you plan to use KDE.

I will probably take your advice, though, I'd like to know if there is any particular reason why it should be done? What's wrong with Qt 3.0.5? Oh, and is there a simple way (like emerge ...) to do it (go back to 3.0.4)?

Also, out of pure curiosity - why kdelibs? Shouldn't this be a purely Qt issue - since even qtconfig doesn't see the new styles?

I'm having the same problem. I emerge qt-3.0.5 and kde-3.0.2 during an update and my styles disappeared. Not sooo dramatic, but since nbensa adviced not using this combination I reemerge qt-3.0.4 and cleaned qt-3.0.5.

But after this, kdm was no longer able to start. Now I just wanted to try an unemerge and emerge of kde (to recompile the kdelibs etc). But whenever I unemerge kde it is finished in a second and says everything is fine (of course it isn't, kde is still present). And when I then try to emerge kde (even after deleting /var/tmp/portage/kde* and /usr/portage/distfiles/*) it just begins normal. But instead of downloading, unpacking, compiling and installing the packages it just tells me it's doing it! No wget, tar, gcc or install output.

That's not funny.

- Does anybody have a clue? Thanks

Now I'm completly confused. I just unmerged and emerged kde several time and now it starts... (it seems to be slower, but that needn't to be true).

Well, but that doesn't change anything about KDE not beeing able to be reemerged...

So, my question keeps on going...
