So what are my options, if any. Our X11 routines draw motif styled controls
just fine. Our customers are requesting GTK themes so our apps look
standard.

Are you saying even if I associate a real GTKWidget with my internal custom
control, I can't get GTK to draw the entire widget at the specified
position?

Yuck. And if I did that would it then draw correctly or the current theme?

Will GTK work with KDE themes?
