I am using Kubuntu 14.10 and it's working quite well so far, but my problem is pretty much what it's stated in the title, when executing a GTK app that requires sudo privileges, such as Synaptic package manager, it's displayed with an ugly theme and huge fonts. However if starting the app without sudo, oxygen-gtk theme is respected. Sometimes the app won't even run until next reboot, displaying a message in terminal about not being able to open display X.

I've tried every possible theme in "System configuration -> Application appearance -> GTK" and other fixes suggested on forums around the web and even here in askubuntu but nothing seems to work. Any suggestions?

Run the command below and re-apply the oxygen-gtk theme:

kdesudo systemsettings

Copy everything gtk-3.0 and .gtkrc-20 from ~, ~/.config, ~/.kde/share/config to /root.

That's how my synaptic renders Kubuntu's Oxygen-GTK theme.
