It seems most likely to me that it's using the default gtk theme
engine rather than the one you're used to seeing. That doesn't mean
that there is anything wrong, just that you need to install a theme +
engine for whatever you want it to look like. I don't know if any
other themes are available by default, but you can specify the theme
by modifying /opt/etc/gtk-2.0/gtkrc.
