Yes, it works with the default theme. Here's what I found: 1. A "/usr/lib/libgtk-1.2.so.0.2.1" was found. It wasn't linked by anything, so I deleted it. (I don't understand the point of version numbers if you aren't going to use them right. Version 1.2.8 means 1.2.8, so what is libgtk-1.2.so.0.5.3?) 2. My "/usr/lib/libgtk.so.1" was incorrectly linked to "libgtk.so.1.0.6". I'll blame this on the GTK install rountine, if you don't mind. ldconfig seems to be very stubborn with re-linking this symlink to 1.0.6. This is mainly caused by a stupid naming convention of the new GTK. (Is there anything wrong with "libgtk.so.1.2.8"?) I got sick of the ldconfig changing, so I just removed the 1.0.6 file. 3. A "/usr/lib/libglib-1.2.so.0.0.3" was found. Deleted. Had no symlinks pointing to it. 4. Like libgtk.so.1, "libglib.so.1" was pointing to "libglib.so.1.0.6". Removed both files, and relinked to "libglib-1.2.so.0.0.8". 5-6. Like 1-2, except =~ s/gtk/gdk/g. 7. rm libgmodule-1.2.so.0.0.3 8. chmod +x libgmodule* After using ldd on gimp and realizing that steps #1-8 were useless (though somewhat informative for the GTK installation procedure), I looked for an updated BlueSteel at gtk.themes.org. Nope. I've tried a few other themes that I already have and found that the following have that bug: BlueSteel, Marble3D, Pixmap. Others like Cheese and Stone surprised me because they didn't have the bug, yet they had a pixmap for the buttons/background. Any other ideas?
