One thing which comes into my mind is, that if you run a KDE (aka QT)-program in Gnome you usually use a qt-style which makes the GUI look like it's a Gnome program (e.g. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=76633). I heard before that this sometimes leads to problems, so maybe it's worth to test another engine. At least this would explain why it works for Alan and not for Hazen.
