Qt4.8.0 and Qjoypad issues

[Juancho]

Hello:

I'm posting because I've compiled the "qt-everywhere-opensource-src-4.8.0" tarball with no problems in Ubuntu Jaunty for a i386. My objective was top compile the Qjoypad-4.1.0 program to control the mouse with a usb joystick. The program is supposed to load a tray icon on the gnome panel. I once compiled qjoypad with the binaries packages of Qt4 installed from the ubuntu repositories but this time I wanted to compile qt from source hoping it would be better. But not only the tray icon doesn't load but also the Qt graphic interface looks bad.

If I execute qjoypad from a terminal this is what I get:

I hope I was clear and I hope somebody could help me.

Right, sorry. I want to know how to make the Qjoypad tray icon to load properly and to fix the crappy fonts that I get in the Qjoypad interface. The tray icon issue may be caused by the old gnome-panel version that I have, so now I'm trying to compile a new version. But I don't understand why if compiled a newer Qt version, fonts look so bad.

UPDATE!: and answering to my self. I found some info in http://qjoypad.sourceforge.net/doc/c113.html that says I can run qjoypad with a floating tray icon. So I did it with "qjoypad --notray" and I get an icon at least. I think i'm posting this in the wrong place though, since this is not a development issue.
