[Nix-dev] Qt Oxygen style in nixpkgs

[Thomas Tuegel]

Hi,

Are your nixpkgs-installed programs and your distro-installed programs
using exactly the same version of Qt? Because of the way Qt's
configuration works, all your programs are probably going to use (or
at least try to use) the Oxygen theme installed by your distro.
