I don't have .gtk-bookmarks, and .gtkrc-2.0-custom. The .gtkrc-2.0 is auto-generated by gtk-theme-switch2, so I didn't think it would work but gave it a try. To my greatest surprise, Removing ~/.gtkrc-2.0 did the trick. All the themes in gtk2-engines look as expected afterward. However, if I use gtk-theme-switch2 to pick own GTK theme (ie. save a new ~/.gtkrc-2.0 file) then redo startx, all themes in gtk2-engines looks somewhat different again. Does anyone have similar experience? Thanks PS. $ cat ~/.gtkrc-2.0 # -- THEME AUTO-WRITTEN BY gtk-theme-switch2 DO NOT EDIT include "/usr/share/themes/Crux/gtk-2.0/gtkrc" include "/home/tong/.gtkrc-2.0.mine" # -- THEME AUTO-WRITTEN BY gtk-theme-switch2 DO NOT EDIT $ ls /home/tong/.gtkrc-2.0.mine ls: cannot access /home/tong/.gtkrc-2.0.mine: No such file or directory > If that doesn't work and you're using GDM I use startx to launch xorg. -- Tong (remove underscore(s) to reply) http://xpt.sourceforge.net/techdocs/ http://xpt.sourceforge.net/tools/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
