It does this when it can't find the theme files to render the more "colourfull" default. If you go the Global Options dialog, you should find the paths, and set theme folder to a copy of the /gui/themes/ folder from the ScummVM source.

You may be misunderstanding what I meant, since it has nothing to do with shortcuts. If you look at the attached screenshot, you'll see the Global Options dialog with the Paths tab active. Here you can click on the Theme Path button and specify the folder in your system where you have the files from from the /gui/themes folder of the source on Github located.

I wonder if it has to do with the shortcut: it may start ScummVM with a different working directory. (dreammaster's solution should help in any case.)

You mentioned specifically "from shortcut on kubuntu" in the title; do you usually start it another way, and does it look right if you do it that way? If so, if you can right-click the icon (.desktop file) and do something like "Edit" or "Open with [text editor]", you might set the "Path=" option to the location of scummvm.
