Summary	0006755: qterminal in kali-win-kex has a bug
Description	There is a bug in qterminal in kex in Kali linux WSL where if you select a particular preference(gtk2) then it crashes rendering the terminal useless.
Steps To Reproduce	Open the default terminal from the shortcut in the top left corner in kex, and then go to file>preferences. In Appearance go to Widget style and change it from system default to gtk2. This will crash the whole terminal as gtk2 does not exist. I don't know why this option is there.
Additional Information	To fix it you'd have to go to ~/.config/qterminal.org and then open the qterminal.ini and change the guistyle=gtk2 to guistyle= Leave it blank and it will default to SystemDefault.

daniruiz 2021-06-24 07:55 manager ~0014826	I don't recommend using gtk2 any more as a theme for qt applications. GTK2 is discontinued and the package for qt is not maintained any more, leading to multiple issues. I'd recommend to use fusion instead. Just in case, try reinstalling qt5-gtk2-platformtheme `sudo apt reinstall qt5-gtk2-platformtheme` and configure the theme from qt5ct app (comes preinstalled with kali to be able to configure qt5 apps). Ensure to set the widget style of qterminal to qt5ct-style, in order to use the settings from that program.
