Re: IDE taskbar icon (from shell)

[Bruce Steers <bsteers4@xxxxxxxxx>]

hold the phone...
it seems the qt switcher is not even using qt!
when i use the following in terminal...

GB_GUI=gb.gui.qt gambas3

gambas loads with GTK3 !

so that is why I have a gambas icon with the QT switcher, ii's using gtk3.

Is anyone else finding this or is it just me?
Knowing Mr b has a qt only system im now confused why it's only qt that is
not working here??
