Bug#506814: phonon 4.2.0-2 can cause Qt widget problems

Package: phonon
Version: 4:4.2.0-2
Severity: normal

It looks like the fix for #498573 created another bug.

Compile Qt's musicplayer:
http://doc.trolltech.com/4.4/phonon-musicplayer.html

Install KDE4, but run musicplayer in a non-KDE environment.  The player 
will be able to find the Phonon plugins, but it will also use KDE's
oxygen style, KDE's file dialog, and the menu and toolbar text will be
invisible.  You can still click on the areas though.

I downgraded to 4.2.0-1 and was able to duplicate this by adding 
/usr/lib/kde4/plugins to QT_PLUGIN_PATH.  So it looks like Qt needs to 
be more selective about which plugins it has access to when it's running 
in a non-KDE environment.

I tried Vincent's suggestion about a symlink just for phonon_backend.  
That gets me audio and Qt's normal widget behavior.

Hello,

phonon-backend-xine comes from KDE. Please remove it and try again. Try using 
GStreamer backend instread which the only official Phonon 4.2.0 backend we 
ship.

I removed phonon-backend-xine.  Only the GStreamer backend is 
installed.  I see the same problem: KDE dialogs, invisible text, etc.

To be more specific about how I tested: I created a clean test account 
to ensure there weren't any lingering config files, started an xfce4 
session, and ran Qt's musicplayer example in an xterm.
