Just annotations of little "how to's", so I know I can find how to do something I've already done when I need to do it again, in case I don't remember anymore, which is not unlikely. Hopefully they can be useful to others, but I can't guarantee that it will work, or that it won't even make things worse.
Some QT5 applications (systemsettings"5" -- why not call it systemsetting5, so the 5 is both the S amd the 5????!!!111 If you're going to change the binary name at least make it kooler) would use some default QT5 style, even when other QT5 (I guess) applications were already using the correct theming. Ops, nope, now I recall, I had it enforced by ksysgyard -style or exporting the style override at the...
Googling a little bit about, some solutions to the same symptoms pointed to needing to install something like gstreamer-ffmpeg. But not only that's unavailable in the latest Debian testing (Stretch), but it seems it's the other way around: for me it started to work again when I deactivated something related to gstreamer on about:config.

export KDE_FULL_SESSION=true && krita
It may have other collateral effects I haven't figured yet, not only on krita, but perhaps even elsewhere. Possibly DANGEROUS.
Be warned that other widget themes besides plastique and oxygen are known to be often broken outside KDE, that's the reason for such theme-enforcing policy. If your preferred theme doesn't work on Krita, don't complain about that to them, they've manifestly done that in order to avoid trying to make...
