I was reluctant to install gnome pieces on my system
but i did it, gave it a try and it works. Thanks

What was involved in this problem?
It should be possible to solve it without desktop environnement
pieces, isn't it?

A lot of the GTK theme features and quirks (fonts especially) people are used to come from some settings or session daemon, and it's usually gnome-settings-daemon. Xfce and KDE's gtk theme engine do the same (and ROX-Session does some other useful things, like enable assignable key bindings). It's a FAQ for all lightweight window managers, and the standard answer is: run gnome-settings-daemon.
