My intention was to solve this upstream by making the control center module only apply its settings to apps inside KDE. It would do this by writing a script into ~/.kde/env to set the GTK2_RC_FILES (I think) environment variable. This script would only get run on KDE startup - letting you choose your own themes to use in GNOME and XFCE.
However this still doesn't explain why GNOME crashes when using the theme engine, as it works fine for me. I'll investigate and see if I can reproduce the problem. -- gtk2-engines-gtk-qt causes GNOME-panel to crash upon startup and causes Gnome to look ugly https://launchpad.net/bugs/36256 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
