Greetings all. I have a bizarre issue that makes me wonder if I understand how remote X applications work ...
I'm running Sabayon Linux on my dev laptop. My work has a bunch of Ubuntu 14.04 LTS servers. When I ssh into a server and run a gtk3 app, it renders widgets in a horrible 3.1 style, and many icons are missing. But if I tar up /usr/share/themes/Ambiance on the server, and dump it into my ~/.themes on my laptop, the widgets render in the 'Ambiance' theme - but *only* if I *also* tell my local window manager ( Enlightenment ) to use the Ambiance theme. I usually use the Adwaita theme. I see that Ubuntu 14.04 LTS doesn't have the Adwaita theme - maybe it's too old for this? What's going on here? I thought the X client did all the rendering, and pushed pixmaps to the ( in this case, remote ) X server. But clearly resources on my laptop are being used here. Perhaps I'm approaching things incorrectly? What's the "recommended" way of running remote ( gtk3 in particular ) apps and having them render nicely - ie as they would if I was actually on the server I'm ssh'd in to?
