https://bugreports.qt-project.org/browse/QTBUG-34005 - the bug in Qt bug tracker So simply put - build a Qt5 app (with some line input or whatever) , start it , change the layout - system-wide it changes , but the app continues using the layout it was started with . (all that in GNOME . In XFCE for example it doesn't happen) . My system is Manjaro , but I've had the same problem in Ubuntu . The communication so far - I've made some tests according to the instructions from one of the Qt developers , and one of the GNOME developers stated an opinion that the problem is Qt related . Here's all the posts : http://lists.qt-project.org/pipermail/development/2013-August/012822.html http://lists.qt-project.org/pipermail/development/2013-August/012824.html http://lists.qt-project.org/pipermail/development/2013-August/012827.html http://lists.qt-project.org/pipermail/development/2013-September/012848.html http://lists.qt-project.org/pipermail/development/2013-September/012849.html https://mail.gnome.org/archives/desktop-devel-list/2013-September/msg00046.html Related bugs according to one of the posts : https://bugreports.qt-project.org/browse/QTBUG-30911 https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=23202
I don't know what fixed it, but the bug is gone for a week or so now.
