KDE/QT applications display all buggered since KDE 5.13

My GTK and Java gui apps are doing just fine, but anything QT related is all hosed up. The K-Menu, Dolphin file viewer...

Ksnapshot loads fine, and doesn't look all buggered, so I don't know what the problem is.

This started happening now that I'm on the latest kde 5.13.

A picture on my desktop of the entire mess: http://i.imgur.com/RH2SLQU.png

If there's another thread where this is already talked about, sorry, I couldn't use the right words to search for it...

For reference, here's a list of all the kde applications I found via `pacman -Qs kde | grep local/`: http://sprunge.us/hGJJ

I'm going to bet that I have not kept my system properly up to date. I switched to plasma 5 and SDDM and such, and now everything is glorious.

I can live with this

Way to go archlinux!

This might do. In case you downgrade or something.

All my qt4 / kde4 application are having really strange glitches. Does anyone have an idea ?

I had something similar, and i had to add this line QT_GRAPHICSSYSTEM=native to /etc/environment

Perfect, thanks a lot !

Re: KDE/QT applications display all buggered since KDE 5.13

As you explicitly mention java guis, are you running on openjdk7? The latest version has a bug and a resource leak which can lead to the corruption you are seeing in technically unrelated apps, you should downgrade or switch to openjdk8

Actually no, I've been running JDK8 for a while now:

java -version
java version "1.8.0_51"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_51-b16)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 25.51-b03, mixed mode)
