okay, I did, and it appears to be compiled against gtk 1.0.6; shandy% dpkg -s gimp [snip] Depends: aalib1 (>= 1.2-7), libc6 (>= 2.0.7u), libgimp1 (>= 1.0.2-2), libgpmg1 (>= 1.14-3), libgtk1 (>= 1:1.0.6-2), libjpeg62, libmpeg1, libncurses4, libpng2, slang1 (<< 1.3), slang1 (>> 1.2.2-0), xlib6g (>= 3.3-5), xpm4g (>= 3.4j-0), zlib1g (>= 1:1.1.3) I've installed the version of gimp that I found in potato, and now gtk themes work perfectly in gimp. Thanks for the tip. shandy% dpkg -s gimp [snip] Depends: aalib1 (>= 1.2-7), libc6, libgimp1, libglib1.2 (>= 1.2.0), libgpmg1 (>= 1.14-3), libgtk1.2 (>= 1.2.0), libjpeg62, libmpeg1, libncurses4, libpng2, slang1 (<< 1.3), slang1 (>> 1.2.2-0), xlib6g (>= 3.3-5), xpm4g (>= 3.4j-0), zlib1g (>= 1:1.1.3) -- Graham
