gtk theme consistency problems

["Michael B. Levy" <mblevy2000 yahoo com>]

Hello, folks.  I am a Mandrake 9.1 user who is having
a problem that is apparently unique to my computer, as
far as I can tell.  Mandrake customer service was
unable to help me and they suggested I contact the gtk
folks directly to get their input.

When I run a gtk1.x application (ie Gimp) outside of
gnome, the themes start going screwy on me.  Instead
of the gimp running in the theme I had chosen in
gnome2.2 (and it was working properly in gnome) it
runs instead with a motif-ish standard theme, the same
theme as the gimp for windows runs.

I downloaded gtkthemeswitch from Mandrake contrib,
which rectified this problem with Mandrake 9.0 and
allowed me to fix which theme gtk apps ran when not
using gnome.  When I run gtk1.x apps in kde in MDK9.1,
the menus and scroll bars run in the theme I select
with gtkthemeswitch, but the buttons are stuck in
Mandrake's new Galaxy theme.

Also, when I run gtk2 apps in KDE, the color is
different from when I run those same apps in gnome.

Any ideas to fix these cosmetic issues would be
appreciated.  If I can't fix it, I'll just be patient
and hope that Mandrake 9.2 will be more like 9.0 in
regards to the theming.

Mike
