I stumbled across this thread because qt-apps like LyX on Gnome +
Wayland did behave a bit strange here, too. Out of the box I had
unusual dialogs (files in LyX and TeXStudio, printing in Ocular, both
were in parts untranslated).

It turned out qt5-gtk-platformtheme-packages were not installed, and I
learned that I have to install qt5ct and that I have to set a variable
QT_QPA_PLATFORMTHEME=qt5ct in /etc/environment, too.

If I use kvantum here, then Comboboxes have gray fonts on dark
background, which makes them unusable. So indeed, very linear and
uncomplicated ...
