[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #54607] Native (KDE) open/save dialogs are not used

[Kai Torben Ohlhus]

Follow-up Comment #35, bug #54607 (project octave):

My build of dev (hg id e142769913f8) still has this problem.  I am sure it is
related to the way Octave uses qt5.  Another qt5-application I use (TeXstudio)
runs those native save-dialogues without problems... regardless of the fonts
or whatsoever I have installed or connected via network.

I don't want to leave this item open forever.  Was it possible to make it
optional to use the native dialogues, as TeXstudio does?  Octave has a
qt-config file.  I think it is possible to adapt such an option.  Maybe it was
not required to wrap the QFileDialog like TeXstudio does:

https://github.com/texstudio-org/texstudio/blob/master/src/filedialog.cpp#L7

Another interesting thread to follow about KDE and VLC trouble turned out to
be an issue with improper signal handling "SIGCHLD" by qt: 
https://marc.info/?l=kde-core-devel&m=129572435508899&w=2  But I really have
no idea how to investigate this.
