Messed up UI under Ubuntu

yes but I don't understand the reference to Windows...

I'm really interested in your answer, since I haven't used linux much recently.
Was your comment ironic or serious? Does Fedora in general generate less grief than other distros for developers?
Because considering how basic (and serious) at the same time my problem with Ubuntu was, and the fact no-one could offer any suggestions, means for me that most likely no developer (that hangs around here) is using Ubuntu.
Thankfully I was only looking to do a test compile of my app, and I can control the environment under my app will be used (which doesn't look like it's going to be Ubuntu), but this case should interest someone I think... -
I was totally serious.
I had some problems with Qt - I "couldn't install the SDK on Windows properly":http://developer.qt.nokia.com/forums/viewthread/5092/ ( if you are interested, see the last but one comment in this thread ) . One of the solutions I've found was to use Fedora instead of Windows. I haven't been using Linux regularly for a long time ... but this experience made me reconsider this. Now I'm migrating towards using Fedora for everyday usage ( and Windows as a virtual machine if needed ).
I don't have enough experience to say that Fedora is better ... but I like it and I hope it won't have any serious problems.

I'm starting to appreciate Fedora too.
Everything Qt related seems to work out of the box.
I even managed to build the postgresql driver (64 bit) easily (I had a similar post with my troubles building it under Windows x64).
