[22:47] <mmikowski> m4t: Try running xsettingsd in a terminal and then hit ctrl+C. That might get things sorted.
[22:48] <m4t> mmikowski: thanks. permanently or until the app is restarted/bugs out again?
[22:48] <mmikowski> https://kfocus.org/wf/displays.html#bkm_scale_displays
[22:48] <m4t> 'which xsettingsd' shows it's not installed
[22:48] <mmikowski> Are you running Wayland or X11?
[22:48] <m4t> X11
[22:49] <m4t> using amdgpu driver, MATE desktop, picom compositor
[22:49] <mmikowski> well, then you probably want that :)
[22:49] <mmikowski> ooooh... :P
[22:49] <m4t> yeah i didn't have it installed on 22.04 before reinstalling for 23.04 either (just checked a snapshot of the old install)
[22:49] <mmikowski> On KDE  Plasma at least, doing that gets the GTK syncing to QT all sorted.
[22:50] <mmikowski> Well, usually.
[22:50] <mmikowski> And the settings stay after relog.
[22:50] <m4t> MATE adds /etc/profile.d/mate-qt.sh which sets 'export QT_QPA_PLATFORMTHEME=gtk2'
[22:50] <m4t> it works...until it randomly during runtime "resets" and starts showing white elements where it should be grey
[22:50] <mmikowski> So don't know if that will work with MATE. 
[22:50] <m4t> like it forgets the theme
[22:51] <mmikowski> Yeah, again similar in plasma, although usually the problem is scaling.
[22:51] <mmikowski> But I have seen both.
[22:52] <m4t> kind of related question, i do have qt5-gtk-platformtheme installed as well (provides /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/qt5/plugins/platformthemes/libqgtk3.so) but i don't see any way to actually use it
[22:53] <mmikowski> "xsettingsd is a daemon that implements the XSETTINGS specification...It can serve as an alternative to gnome-settings-daemon...for users who are not using the GNOME desktop [but want GTK configs]"
[22:53] <m4t> ah i see, thanks for clarifying
[22:53] <mmikowski> that's from apt-cache show xsettingsd
[22:53] <m4t> yeah mate has its fork of gsd called mate-settings-daemon: matt      392435    2014  0 Jul12 ?        00:00:08 /usr/bin/mate-settings-daemon
[22:54] <mmikowski> Yeah, I was thinking there had to be something like that.
[22:54] <mmikowski> maybe just run that once in the terminal instead?
[22:54] <m4t> ** (mate-settings-daemon:795655): WARNING **: 18:54:23.407: Failed to acquire org.mate.SettingsDaemon
[22:54] <m4t> already running
[22:54] <mmikowski> Yeah, ... right
[22:55] <mmikowski> maybe restart it? sudo systemctl restart mate-settings-daemon ?
[22:55] <mmikowski> or something like that.
[22:56] <mmikowski> hmm, keepassxc we had to config to avoid weird artifacts.
[22:59] <mmikowski> KeePassXC > View > Theme
[22:59] <mmikowski> well I
[22:59] <mmikowski> 'm sorry I couldn't help more, but gotta run for now
[22:59] <mmikowski> Hope that helps
[22:59] <mmikowski> at least a bit.
[23:02] <m4t> thanks
[23:02] <m4t> yeah with keepassxc i'm using the Classic (Platform-native) theme
