Any idea what the subject of the old post was? I can't find anything usefull looking through the archives.

I posted a message earlier this month in the thread with the subject "YaST and others with old-style GTK widgets" in which I recapped the solution I got from another poster (Thomas Börkel) on the SuSE-KDE list (Subject: How smooth is the KDE update from the "supplementary branch"?) back in December of 2004. Here is that message:

I've installed a couple of machines with 9.2, and in each of them YaST has the brushed metal look with graded and shadowed buttons. I've just installed a third machine, and on this one YaST (and GTK apps) come up with a GTK look from around 2000, with clunky square buttons and general old-fashioned look (and some user-friendly no-nos, eg dark blue progress bar over black text).
The same thing happened to me when I used the supplementary update to install KDE 3.3.2 on my 9.1 system.
The eventual solution turned up in the message thread titled "How smooth is the KDE update from the "supplementary branch"?" which began on Dec. 8, 2004 (<http://lists.suse.com/archive/suse-kde/2004-Dec/0052.html>). This particular issue is first mentioned in message 59 (<http://lists.suse.com/archive/suse-kde/2004-Dec/0059.html>) of that thread.
When I applied the solution pointed to there (<http://www.boerkel.de/linuxtipps.html#mozTocId580997>) all was back to normal.
