Hi Ulrich, All, I run a lot of GTK applications. All of them run fine, except Darktable and RawTherapee both complain: Gtk-WARNING **: Unable to locate theme engine in module_path: "clearlooks", The closest thing I can find to "clearlooks" in Gentoo portage is x11-themes/clearlooks-phenix. I think this is just a matter of appearance, yes? So I probably don't need it. My "desktop" isn't themed, it's just a blank expanse of middle gray. Anyway, the real problem turned out to be user errors. Lots of user errors. Getting rid of the glib installation in /usr/local cleared up the missing modules problem and a whole bunch of other annoying interface issues. And not being able to type in the exposure value turned out to be another user error - you actually type on top of the funny graphical curve thing and the numbers are really big. It didn't look like a place to type, but it works perfectly. If you all hadn't very kindly offered possible reasons for why things weren't working, I wouldn't have thought to look at glib. And I wouldn't have kept experimenting with the interface for setting the exposure, etc. So thank you very much! For years people have been telling me to try Darktable and now I wish I had listened earlier.
