[Bug 1380036] [NEW] kubuntu plasma next ( 14.10) - kf5 apps use gtk2 theme

[Bharat Rajagopalan]

Public bug reported:

I am using the kubuntu next repository on kubuntu 14.10 - with  the
latest release of plasma 5.1. I have a bizarre issue that the kf5
applications like system-settings seem to be using the gtk2 theme set
using the kde-gtk-config tool.  Kde4 applications and qt4 applications
correctly use the application style set.

E,g, i set application style to breeze, gtk2 theme to qtcurve and gtk3
to adwaita - and i can see that systemsettings5 is using qtcurve. while
konversation (kde 4)  and cadence (qt4) is using breeze (qt4config shows
that theme is set to desktop default).

When i change the gtk2 theme to say oxygen-gtk and restart system-
settings it changes themes.

Changing the theme in kde application style doesn't have any effect on
system settings - also i that kde 4 applications don't change themes on
the fly - they need to be restarted which is different behaviour to what
i had seen in the early betas of plasma next

Please let me know how i can debug this issue further?
