OK, I need to define this a little further. In my original post I stated that I used grsync for backups - as root. The problem is as root. My GTK apps as a user work as expected. Nevertheless I tried your suggestion as above, both in the user and in root. In both places there is a gtkrc-2-kde file which correctly shows the font type, and size as defined in the personal sttings > appearance >gtk styles.
Hello again, Istvan,
Have you created the file called .gtkrc-2.0 in /root directory? It is not clear from your answer that you created this file or only edited the .gtkrc-2.0-kde file. The file .gtkrc-2.0-kde will not have any effect.
Yes, I have created it. It is alongside the gtkrc-2-kde file in both places.
This defines the font type and size used by gtk applications. Increasing the number from 12 to higher results in bigger fonts. You can change font type according to your like as well.
The following line defines the gtk style: gtk-theme-name="Clorophyll"
One more thing: if the theme name is not correct (or theme is not available ?) the application may not start.
In my system editing ~/.gtkrc-2.0 file has effect on all gtk programs including grsync for every user including root.
Do you have that only in your home folder or the root folder also. I have tried 3 different themes and 3 different fonts, including the one that works as a regular user and "Gilouche" which is a Gnome theme but am not sure it is even installed as I don't have Gnome installed. Do you think it must be a Gnome theme? When you were having trouble did your other GTK apps work?, because as I stated earlier, all of mine (as root) come up with the teeny tiny fonts. Since I knew that grsync worked properly as a user, I tried doing a thing that I don't know if it is possible or doable. While logged in as root, in a terminal, I did an "su bob", got my proper domain prompt, and then did a "grsync", and got the following error message: No protocol specified (grsync:83621): Gtk WARNING **: Cannot open display :0.0 Don't know what this means or even it means anything at all as I don't know if you can do what I did. Hope somebody can tell me what is wrong here. What is the Gnome Configuration tool? and why does it (GTK) work properly as a user and not as root? Why did it work in 10.3 and not in 11.0 or 11.1 in KDE3 and in 11.2 KDE4?
