Hmmmm, I had the same problem under a heavily updated SuSE 9.1 after
installing GTK 2.8

I fixed this with rebuilding the gtk-qt-engine source package from SuSE 10.0.
So that's why I know that the gtk-qt-engine from SuSE 10.0 has a fix for that
bug.

So I think Lennart updated either GTK or gtk-qt-engine from a package not
provided by SuSE itself.

I suggest reinstalling gtk and/or gtk-qt-engine from the suse cd/dvd. That
should fix it. After that just use you to fetch all updates for these 2
packages provided by SuSE directly. Might be possible that there aren't any
updates for these two packages though.

Best,
Daniel
