You're probably only changing the GTK2 theme. Since GTK2 came out there's two GTK themes on any system with both, the GTK1.2 theme and the GTK2 theme. Many apps are still GTK1.2, not GTK2; thus changing the GTK2 theme won't affect these apps. To watch this effect, for instance try installing X-Chat 1.8.10 from the MDK rpm and X-Chat 1.9.1 (not 1.9.2, it's broken) from source on www.xchat.org . Run both, now change the GTK theme as you were doing. X-Chat 1.8.10 should honour the change, but 1.9.1 won't; this is because X-Chat 1.8.x is a GTK1.2 app but X-Chat 1.9.x is GTK2. IIRC a way to change GTK1.2 theme has recently been incorporated into Cooker, but I forget where/what it is. -- adamw
