I don't have .gtkrc in my home directory. I've been using suse's KDE, not that I dislike GNOME. Perhaps that's a problem. I noticed on gtk-list Digest, Vol 12, Issue 9 Re: 'File Choose Dialog' can't work in KDE? (John Cupitt) that > some KDEs (eg. suse) install themes (eg. geramik) to make gtk apps > look more KDE-like, these themes can cause problems and, come to think of it, I believe I observed the same thing. None of my widgets look like those in the books or the tutorial, especially the GtkFileSelection browser in Warkus' book. So I think Suse is messing with GTK+. >> 3.

Guess its time to change my desktop from KDE to GNOME. In "C++ GUI Programming with Qt3", they show how to select different themes, examples being ./age -style=Platinum ./age -style=Motif ./age -style=Windows etc., so I was hoping this feature was available in GTK/GNOME. Is it possible to effect this usage? Thanks for your help.
