*** This bug is a duplicate of bug 24280 *** Doesn't the root user use GTK2 at all?
I think for about 90% of the users, this problem can be eliminated by setting the gtk1 and gtk2 theme of the root user to the same default as we do for ordinary users. If they change their theme they will still notice this, but not that many people actually change their theme. -- gtk2-engine switches to gtk1-engine when installing https://launchpad.net/bugs/67694 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
