Using the Apt/Synaptic software I was able to force a downgrade to the previous version. I was apprehensive about breaking other software or causing a dependency problem, but the downgrade went smoothly. So far testing gtk applications has be excellent -all menu's are ok. I may not have the latest but it working for me, many thanks. For Susers - downgrading to gtk-qt-engine 0.5-9.3 did the trick on this Suse 9.2 machine.
