[qubes-users] KDE on 4.1

The procedure to install KDE in 4.1 doesn't seem to work, is that expected behavior?

"sudo qubes-dom0-update @kde-desktop-qubes" from KDE (desktop environment) | Qubes OS.

As a side note. After installing 4.1 running with xfce like I did on 4.0 I have the entire interface darkified except Qubes Manager, it will not go dark. I do however have Qubes Manager darkified on my 4.0 install but I cannot remember specifically how I did it. I have a faint memory that I tried KDE on 4.0 which does make Qube Manager dark but later I removed KDE from 4.0 however Qubes Manager remained dark. Any ideas?

Yes, the group isn't present.
qubes-dom0-update kde-settings-qubes

Is this the way of installing KDE now which means the documentation must be updated or is this just a workaround?

4

The documentation is in transition from 4.0 to 4.1
This will be in the update.

Would the way in the documentation still apply to 4.0 or should the new way now be used in 4.0 as well? Just asking for interest sake.

I can confirm that installing KDE, and darkifying it, makes Qubes Manager go dark when logged in with xfce DM. I wonder if there is a better way of getting Qubes Manager to go dark on xfce without installing KDE?

I tried to make Qubes Manager dark the same way i use on my Debian templates where i have Qt applications running like Krusader by installing qt5ct and qt-qt5styleplugin (on Debian it is qt5-style-plugins) but alas like on Fedora templates this method does not work on Dom0 either.

The [documentation](KDE (desktop environment) | Qubes OS) still shows the procedure for removing KDE as `sudo dnf remove kdelibs plasma-workspace`. Shouldn't this be updated to `sudo dnf remove kde-settings-qubes`?
