[PyQt] File Dialogs Not Native In Linux Mint 17.3

[Nick]

Can confirm that *The Qt Company *did break the Qt theme system with Qt
v5.7. Here is another report
<https://github.com/linuxmint/Cinnamon/issues/5440> (
https://github.com/linuxmint/Cinnamon/issues/5440) which mentions the exact
same version of Qt. There is also another report
<https://github.com/linuxmint/Cinnamon/issues/5488> (
https://github.com/linuxmint/Cinnamon/issues/5488) which might be related.
