It always caused me problems: it was slow, very ugly, and had repaint errors. Maybe it's better than it used to be, but if you have not disabled it, I think it's worth trying without. I forget what the package you have to remove is called, maybe try something like rpm -q a | grep -i gtk | grep -i engine (untested) and see if it lists any theme engines. GTK on the default theme should be fast. John _______________________________________________ gtk-list@xxxxxxxxx http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtk-list
