Troubles in default theme (Simple)

[Luca Ferretti <elle uca libero it>]

Day after day I'm becoming a fan of Simple theme.

But there some troubles or, better, annoying stuff.

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Tooltip bg color

        Why not something like Traditional theme? Using the same default
        bg make a tooltip like a visual noise, IMHO.
        
        ( attached patch )
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Unselected list item

        Please take a look to ephy's bookmark dialog: select a topic,
        then select a bookmark. Same appearance (green bg, black fg) for
        both. This can be a trouble when you select File -> Delete and
        you don't remember what's the last selection.
        
        Now take a look to evolution (1.4.x): select a mail folder then
        a message: as you can see the first selection became different
        from the last one (BTW IMHO green bg + white fg is better then
        black fg).
        
        ( patch not ready :-( )
        
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Checkbox in lists

        This is the most annoying issue. I made a very hacky patch: use
        pixmap engine for GtkTreeView (and GtkCList for backward
        compatibility) with no option, so default GTK+ theme will be
        used.
        
        It works: apply it and take a look to sound-juicer and
        gnome-system-monitor preferences, but it adds libpixmap.so to
        shared memory :-|
        
        Anyone know how to use default engine? Is seems that
                
                style "list" = "default" {
                engine "default" {} }
                
        don't work.
        
        
        
        ( attached hacky patch )

(funnny) Use spacing, not spacer, in menu

        IMHO this is very HIG, and very funny ;-) Comments, ideas?
