Public bug reported:

Hi,

QtBase ships with a platform theme called "gtk2", which enables native
file dialog, color dialog and font dialog on Gtk-based environments
(such as Unity and GNOME).

https://qt.gitorious.org/qt/qtbase/source/5.3:src/platformsupport/themes/genericunix/qgenericunixthemes.cpp#L593

However, when appmenu-qt5 is installed, the platform theme is forcibly
set to "appmenu-qt5" (via /etc/profile.d/appmenu-qt5.sh). Thus, the
advantages of gtk2 theme like native dialogs are not available.

Test case:

0) Install qtcreator and appmenu-qt5;
1) Launch qtcreator and select "Open Project";
2) Launch "QT_QPA_PLATFORMTHEME= qtcreator" and select "Open Project".

In case 1), the standard Qt file dialog will be used (looking a stranger in Gtk environment).
In case 2), the native Gtk+ file dialog will be used (looking nice).
