I have noticed the exact problem that Scott describes - with fresh installs of Red Hat 6.1 and Mandrake 6.1. I notice it most when using the Gimp and RealPlayer G2 in KDE. (I don't use GNOME, so I can't say if the GUI elements problem occurs in GNOME or not). I also frequently see the scrollbars of Netscape and KFM become "flattened" (they loose their 3D shaded appearance over a portion of their length) when a dialog box is displayed over and then removed from these applications' windows. Incidentally, I installed Xi Graphics' MaXimum CDE/AcceleratedX server over RH6.1 (we use CDE on our HP-UX boxes at work), and the GUI-element problem with Gimp and RealPlayerG2 went away. I'm back to KDE, because of it's user friendliness, but the GUI element problem is annoying. I have also noticed bright blue and green borders to my K menu, which I have colored teal. It's like the 3D shading in KDE does not quite function properly. I wish I could help, but I'm not a programmer. Just thought I would let everyone know that Scott isn't the only one to experience the GUI element problem.

Unfortunately, it still persists. The problem is that when I select an item from a gtk list, such as a package to upgrade in MandrakeUpdate or a file in the standard gtk file dialog, it causes display problems with other gui elements (usually buttons) in the dialog. For example, when a list item is selected, the button that currently has focus will suddenly change its visual state to look like it does when it is "pressed". Passing the mouse mouse over any gtk button (when a list item is selected) toggles its visual state similarly, so that it alternates between looking "pressed" and "unpressed". The app itself functions correctly; it's only the gui's appearance that is affected. This is on a fresh install of Oxygen from last night. gtk+-1.2.6-3mdk glib-1.2.6-1mdk The current desktop environment doesn't affect the situation; this problem happens everytime regardless of whether I'm in kde or gnome. Has anyone else experienced this problem? Is there a fix? It's annoying as all get-out... :) -Scott -- ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com
