    Very Small Fonts in KDE Root Programs - A Solution

    From Volker on kubuntu-users mailing list:

    Hi!

    I've had the problem, that graphical programs (or program parts), which run as root, had a very small font size - such as systemsettings5 or muon's settings->configure software sources window.

    I've investigated it, and I found that the following has to be added to /etc/environment:

    XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP=KDE

    That is, the XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP environment variable needs to be set to "KDE". But this doesn't work when set in ~/.bashrc, ~/.proile or /etc/profile. Looks like these scripts aren't called by kdesudo. Instead, it works when the mentionend line is included in /etc/environment (not a script).

    Bye

    Mine already has that setting.
    Thank you, KDE Neon dev crew!

      I have it in Kubuntu 16.04 as well. I don't remember setting it. So I'm thinking it's there by default.
