YaST and others with old-style GTK widgets
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 only thing I did differently on this one was install the kdeartwork stuff and choose the Plastik style, colours, window decs. Other than that there appear to be no differences in packages installed - they were all basically a default install. Has anyone come across this? Is this one of those cases where you have to start faffing around with that yukky gconf thing? -- Pob hwyl / Best wishes Kevin Donnelly

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.
