Re: gtk 2.x themes/engines?

thanks. the debian gtk2 does not come with the pixmap engine it seems. 
but otherwise, just renaming the config file and grabbing that from the
cvs fixed things.


as for gtk.themes.org  It hasn't been updated in 5 months, I'd say it's
dead. It's slow, seems to be running on a 386, but it responds.
