It is quite typical to see visual quirks from apps in environments
with a lightweight DE or no DE at all if your GTK and Qt
configurations are not set up correctly. I suspect this was the "conflict"
that 52midnight was referring to.

However, such conflicts don't typically manifest themselves as blank
windows. It's usually in the form of ugliness.

Could you please provide more information?

- What version of Qt is `kont` using?
- Is this happening with other Qt windows? Or just `kont`?
- What version of Openbox?
- What version of X?
- Any compositing managers running?

I've only seen the kind of behavior you're experiencing in
applications using some variant of Java swing, so I am quite puzzled
to see this from Qt.
