The progress bar displayed on my system is simple a near empty rectangle with 
a small red bar (3-4 pixels wide) at the left hand end of the rectangle.  The 
bar is totally motionless.

The description led me to expect to see some action but it was not clear as to 
what.

Only in the sense that I was correct in assuming that I would see some 
animation and that something was wrong when I didn't.

Regarding "theme," all I can say is that I run on a vanilla KDE screen and do 
not pay any attention to themes.  It is what was put up when I installed and 
first booted the system and did everything I needed and was close to what I 
am used to using in the past.  If selecting an appropriate theme is necessary 
for example2 to function properly then I feel that the GTK+ has a serious 
flaw.

Thank-you for pointing out that proper functioning may be theme dependent.
This saves me from wasting any more time in trying to resolve this problem.
But this point is mute as I (as indicated on my other email) have given up on 
GTK.
