[SOLVED] Texmaker not working under LXDE

I have a problem with Texmaker under LXDE, it fails to start. When I try to start it from console, it outputs
"QGtkStyle cannot be used together with the GTK_Qt engine",
then displays splash screen for a moment, then segmentation fault happens.
I've seen that this error with QGtkStyle could happen if in gtk settings qt theme is set and in qt setting gtk theme is set. However, in Appearance settings of LXDE I have Raleigh as my theme and in Qt Config I have Plastique GUI style. If I change this style in Qt Config to GTK+, I indeed receive two identical lines "QGtkStyle cannot be used together with the GTK_Qt engine" in output from texmaker instead of one, but everything else is the same.
Other Qt apps, SMplayer, for example, work perfectly well.

I think you'll need to install gtk-qt-engine. This solved the problem for me anyway.

Re: [SOLVED] Texmaker not working under LXDE

I've installed gtk-qt-engine and it solved the problem, thanks. However, I think texmaker should work without gtk-qt-engine, shouldn't it?
