Thanks for this hint - it really solved my issue to delete those two files. They contained the following before: ~# cat .gtkrc-2.0 # -- THEME AUTO-WRITTEN DO NOT EDIT include "/usr/share/themes/Clearlooks/gtk-2.0/gtkrc" include "/home/richard/.gtkrc-2.0.mine" # -- THEME AUTO-WRITTEN DO NOT EDIT ~# cat .gtkrc-1.2-gnome2 # Autowritten by gnome-settings-daemon. Do not edit include "/home/richard/.gtkrc.mine" ~# Those .mine files did not exist. On another system (running Lenny from the beginning, no upgrade from Etch), there is only the .gtkrc-1.2-gnome2 file and I have had no problems. So maybe the upgrade process should recommend removing the .gtkrc-2.0 file? Richard -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
