Well, I don't know if this is the right place for asking, but here it goes.

The problem that I'm having is a bit weird and I'm not sure what to configure/change.

Let's see:

While using unetbootin, for creating a bootable USB drive, there is a button for opening up a file chooser dialog box. If I press this button, the dialog box that appears is I thing the Gnome/GTK file picker....

But, if I run unetbootin as root, sudo unetbootin the same operation opens up the KDE file picker dialog box...

So, my question is, where do I configure this for my user, so that it can also have the KDE dialog box?

I'm running the latest KDE version on Kubuntu 9.10.

Thanks for the help!

From the sound of things this is a ubuntu application, which means it is a gnome-based application, which means it uses the gtk file picker. There is no easy way to force gnome applications to use the KDE file pickers at this point. If I a wrong about the application, please provide more details.

Hi!

That's the point that I'm finding weird.

If I run the tool as my user, the file picker is the GTK one, but as root is the KDE one... Very strange.

I have two Kubuntu computers and *both* show the same behaivor....

Just try it, install from ubuntu reps the unetbootin and give it a try.

The file picker is chosen by the application, not by the system. If the application is a gnome application it will use the gtk file picker, whether it is on a gnome system or not. That is just how gnome works, I assume KDE works the same, although I am not certain since I don't have the gnome desktop environment installed.
