I did run some gnome theme thingy to get the theme stuff setup, but FireFox seems to want to get the info from gnome-settings-daemon and not by reading the various dot-files. The 'theme' settings did not take until I fired up gnome-settings-daemon. *I* would agree it is not a 'FVWM problem' -- it is a *stupidity* with *some* GTK applications, ones that *assume* that they are running in a [GNome] 'desktop manager' environment (with all that is implied with such an environment) and don't really allow for people who might want to use these applications under a *different* sort of environment (such as one without *any* 'desktop manager' running). These applications either fallback to something stupid/ugly or leave some appearence features unset or something -- they just don't have a 'sensible' *alternitive* way to get the appearence settings. > > -- Thomas Adam > > > -- Robert Heller -- 978-544-6933 / hel...@deepsoft.com Deepwoods Software -- http://www.deepsoft.com/ () ascii ribbon campaign -- against html e-mail /\ www.asciiribbon.org -- against proprietary attachments
