Bug#255729: kcontrol: option to not load X resources needed
Package: kcontrol
Version: 4:3.2.2-1
Severity: normal
Tags: upstream
Back in KDE2, there was a way to turn off the "apply KDE defaults to
non-KDE apps" feature.
It doesn't seem to be present anymore. The old "Look & Feel" menu that
used to have this option has been split up and/or renamed. I checked
under every node in "Appearance & Behavior", though.
This feature needs to come back, and should default *off* in Debian, as
it causes x-terminal-emulator to be broken when (u)xterm is used as the
terminal emulator and the user's locale is configured to use the UTF-8
character set.
Also, kcontrol is wrong to call the files in
/usr/share/apps/kdisplay/app-defaults/*.ad "app-defaults". They're not.
It is using them as X resources.
Please see

for more information about app-defaults.
