Fix look of KDE/Qt applications in Xfce/Xubuntu

On a fresh install of Xubuntu 11.10, Qt (KDE) applications don't use the same style as the other applications.

VLC using the wrong style
VLC using the desktop style (greybird)
To fix this just install libgnome2-0, via terminal:
sudo apt-get install libgnome2-0

[SOLVED] xfrun4/xfce4-appfinder launches very slowly

Image
xfrun4 is a little Xfce program that allows to run commands, without having to open a terminal window. Since Xfce 4.10 it also works as a application launcher. It is summoned using Alt+F2 , and usually it pops right up, but lately it takes several seconds, sometimes almost a minute, to open. When trying to run it from the terminal, it prints this error: (xfrun4:6232): xfce4-appfinder-CRITICAL **: Failed to open window: Did not receive a reply.

[FIX] VLC is unable to open the MRL (smb://)

Image
When I tried to open remote video files with VLC via a Samba share I got this error message: Your input can't be opened: VLC is unable to open the MRL 'smb://...' It seems that this problem is related to credentials and can be fixed by entering the credentials for the Samba share in the VLC preferences (Tools > Preferences > Input / Codecs > Access Modules > SMB Input): Note: I only experienced this problem when accessing remote files with PCManFM.
