I think I will leave it off, as the default gtkrc rather spoils the good looks. But where should the application look for it? Another problem arises by the "extensive" use of /usr/share. The fsstnd says in Section 6.4: "One note: no program should ever reference anything in /usr/share. For instance, a manual page program should never directly look in /usr/share/man/man1/ls.1, but it should refer to /usr/man/man1/ls.1 at all times. Anything in /usr/share will be "pointed to" by the use of symlinks from other areas in the filesystem, such as /usr/man, /usr/lib/<something>, etc." I have >9000 files in /usr/share but only ~30 links to it on my system... (numbers by: find /usr/share | wc -l and find -type l -print0 |xargs -0 ls -l |grep /usr/share) Has there been a policy decision to not comply to the note? And still, where shall I put the gtkrc file of my application (or the link to it)?
