As far as I know, gb.gui loads gb.qt if running under KDE; else gb.gtk.
So on Ubuntu it should use GTK instead of QT (note that this is the 
contrary of what you say).
Now the bugs you noticed are gone because you forced the app to use 
gb.qt, which has less bugs than gb.gtk.

I think that gambas-database-manager, being a normal app, correctly uses 
gb.gui. The gambas IDE should do it too, but it can not because GTK (or 
gb.gtk) lacks some necessary controls found in QT (or gb.qt).

This gb.gui auto-switching mechanism is nice - but it can lead to 
problems... I wonder about how many people like it.
