I have confirmed this behavior on i586 & x86_64 boxes. Further, I have confirmed it is NOT the kde3-kcm_gtk package itself by installing and testing with: kde3-kcm_gtk-0.7svn20070827-20.1.x86_64.rpm kde3-kcm_gtk-0.7svn20070827-21.1.x86_64.rpm kde3-kcm_gtk-0.7svn20070827-21.4.x86_64.rpm kde3-kcm_gtk-0.7svn20070827-21.5.x86_64.rpm kde3-kcm_gtk-0.7svn20070827-22.1.x86_64.rpm kde3-kcm_gtk-0.7svn20070827-22.7.x86_64.rpm kde3-kcm_gtk-0.7svn20070827-22.9.x86_64.rpm kde3-kcm_gtk-0.7svn20070827-22.10.x86_64.rpm kde3-kcm_gtk-0.7svn20070827-22.14.x86_64.rpm and kcm_gtk-1.1-7.2.x86_64.rpm kcm_gtk-1.1-7.3.x86_64.rpm kcm_gtk-1.1-7.8.x86_64.rpm kcm_gtk-1.1-9.2.x86_64.rpm kcm_gtk-1.1-9.4.x86_64.rpm kcm_gtk-1.1-9.5.x86_64.rpm kcm_gtk-1.1-9.6.x86_64.rpm kcm_gtk-1.1-122.1.x86_64.rpm kcm_gtk-1.1-122.2.x86_64.rpm kcm_gtk-1.1-122.3.x86_64.rpm kcm_gtk-1.1-122.4.x86_64.rpm kcm_gtk-1.1-122.5.x86_64.rpm kcm_gtk-1.1-122.7.x86_64.rpm kcm_gtk-1.1-122.8.x86_64.rpm kcm_gtk-1.1-122.9.x86_64.rpm kcm_gtk-1.1-122.11.x86_64.rpm Many of the above were builds from May 2010 so something has been going on with these packages or the libraries underneath. The primary problem is that gtk apps no longer render properly at all. It doesn't matter what GTK theme you select, they all show the same behavior. The following use the BlueNight theme (just happened to be what was selected). Here are a series of screenshots that show what I mean: (1) Here is a screenshot showing how the gtk themes should render and have rendered for the past 2 years (tbird example): http://www.3111skyline.com/download/bugs/kde3/tbird-k5-gconf+gsd.jpg (in order to get this rendering I had to switch to kde4 and 'manually' start gnome-settings-daemon - normally gconfd-2 started by kdeinit is all that was required) (2) Here are screenshots that show how the gtk themes render in both kde3 and kde4 after having set the gtk theme in the control panel -> Appearance -> GTK Style, logout/login, and start the apps: http://www.3111skyline.com/download/bugs/kde3/tbird+gconfd-2.jpg Here notice the menubar is invisible because the gtk theme font color is not shown and notice that the tbird status bar and file save as are Blue, not dark gray as shown above -- something is funky. Also notice the file-save dialog is blue and the places are invisible (white-on-white). I don't know what is causing this, but I have confirmed it on multiple computers using multiple versions of kcm_gtk and kde3-kcm_gtk. Gimp is equially unreadable. Note the blank menubar and unreadable menus due to the gtk theme rendering ignoring the font color of the gtk theme. There is a lot of hide-and-seek that goes on trying to find the menu and then the menu-item you need: http://www.3111skyline.com/download/bugs/kde3/gimp+gconfd-2.jpg Same problem in kde4, although the places in the file-save is the right color and the font size is all 8pt like it should be: http://www.3111skyline.com/download/bugs/kde3/tbird-k4-gconf.jpeg Now starting gnome-settings-daemon manually takes care of some of the color issue in kde3, but the gtk themeing is still really messed up: Thunderbird - note the coloring of the thunderbird window is now correct (menubar font is messed up), but the file save-as dialog is invisible places and the font size is 4pt to big (12pt). It is like some default font color and font size are just grabbed instead of using the gtk font color and font size in the dialogs: http://www.3111skyline.com/download/bugs/kde3/tbird+gconfd-2+gsd.jpg Gimp (note the status-bar and ruler colors are now correct, but font color is still wrong (blank menus again): http://www.3111skyline.com/download/bugs/kde3/gimp+gconfd-2+gsd.jpg Bottom line - something got broke in the past couple of days in the way gtk themes are rendered. I have tested this problem in every way I can think of to help narrow it down. I can tell you, the problem isn't in kcm_gtk or kde3-kcm_gtk. I have tried 10 different versions from April 2009 through May 31, 2010 and all show the same behavior. It is somethiing common to kde3 and kde4 that reads the .gtkrc-2.0-kde... files, but then doesn't do the right thing with the gtk theme information to properly render the theme. This is important to cure in the last few week of 11.0's life in order not to leave a lot of broken systems. Please let me know what else I can send or test, I'm happy to do it. Thanks for your help with this one. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
