Rep:
kde gtk error
so i was playing around and i switched my widget theme to gtk+
and then whenever i startx it says QGtkStyle cannot be used together with the GTK_Qt engine
i know that i have to switch back to oxygen widget theme
i just dont know how since i dont know which file to edit to do this since i can only use the command prompt right now.
and this happened with my root account, so i think that the config files are somewhere else for it im not sure?

i was using root because i just installed linux and i needed to install some programs, like wicd, wine, trying to install gfire and things like this.
There's no reason to login as root do do that. Either use sudo (or su) in a xterm shell or a program such as yumex which will prompt you for root's password when you run it.
