Yes, thanks Kailash. I had to install gnome themes and choose one. The
XFCE themes appear to not work, and gedit appears to not have a
dependency tree to make even a minimal default theme work. There was
one theme allegedly (apt-cache show details) allowed gnome themes to
work with xfce, but I could not determine how that worked (it seemed
to not work, perhaps I didn't try hard enough).

Anyway, I have adequate theming now, and gedit displays reasonably now
(would prefer a nice compact theme, just not so compact as "no space
at all between menus" :)

Thanks. Adwaita's not too bad either. A theme is another thing I'd

highly-customizable theme.

It sounds like you're lacking a GTK3 theme engine.  For example, I have
the clearlooks-phenix-theme package installed so that GTK3 and GTK2 apps
look nearly identical.

Both Gedit and Evince use GTK3 which has its own method of defining
themes, as I understand it.  Also, I don't see the Theme parsing error
you're getting when starting either Geany or Evince from a terminal (I'm
running a nearly up-to-date Sid).  

Try experimenting with different GTK3 theme packages.

Good point. In fact, that's the only way I run it :)

Which reminds me, evince always comes up with an error .. checking now ..

Turns out, they both produce almost identical errors. Gedit error:

(gedit:15593): Gtk-WARNING **: Theme parsing error: gtk.css:101:18:
Not using units is deprecated. Assuming 'px'.

Evince error:

(evince:15620): Gtk-WARNING **: Theme parsing error: gtk.css:101:18:
Not using units is deprecated. Assuming 'px'.

And that to me looks perhaps like the perfect culprit, let's say that
the original gtk.css is assuming cm or mm, and this new theme parser
is assuming 'px', so 5mm would definitely be greater than 5px. And if
that is mean to be the minimum width of a menu, of course we end up
with no gaps between menus. This however is just my theoretical
metahypotheticalizationisms.

Anyone know how to fix, or what to install .. ?

I've seen it before too, but don't remember the reason for this, but I
guess it wasn't a broken version of Xfce, just something was missing. I
guess it was s theme or GTK lib.

That's really odd :(. When using gedit on Xfce (different distros,
including Ubuntu/Debian) it's ok on my machine. I agree there seems to
be some lib(s) missing. Xfce was and for some installs still is the only
DE here too, but I installed a lot of gtk stuff as dependency for other
software. After installing Cinnamon and Mate to one of my installed
Linux distros, the theme used by Xfce changed a little bit.

Well, it might be worth playing playing with the appearance settings
-- edit menu, settings or preferences. (I forget which in English.)
Try changing the font while you're at it.

Hmm. I think I have seen that kind of thing once, some years ago, but
not recently. I think it was with a less stable version of LXDE
(running a Fedora security tools live USB).

Manually, as in ...?

Downloading from  and unpacking and
installing, or even compiling and installing the source?

Doing something similar with the .deb packages?

Or as in using "apt-get install" or synaptic, or what, exactly?

apt-get and synaptic should pull in the dependencies unless you tell
it not to. If you told it not to install some of the dependencies, you
might try doing a re-install.

The dependencies for gedit made me wince a bit the first time I pulled
it into a relatively pristine XFCE, but when you start pulling in GUI
tools, you'll find that a lot of them depend on the gnome libraries.
But you're not pulling in the entire desktop, by any means.

Synaptic is pretty convenient about that. When you select for install,
it will tell you which dependencies it's also pulling in, and then
when you tell it to go ahead, it will show the sizes. My memory is
that straight apt-get gives you the information and the chance to back
out, as well.

As an aside, thought I'd mention that geany's interface is very highly
configurable. It's easy enough through the Preferences dialog to eliminate side
panes, bottom panes, etc. -- or to relocate them. You can make this editor's
interface as simple as mousepad's.

I have gedit working fine on Xfce on sid, but I switched from Gnome at
the time of 3, and haven't quite dared to purge everything with 'gnome'
in the name, so there may be something else involved.

I think, but I am not sure, that mousepad is in there because it is
small and doesn't have a lot of dependencies. So it fits small
footprint installs.

Can't imagine any other reason for including it.

Odd. I haven't seen that with gedit, neither in English nor Japanese sessions.

Default fonts issue maybe?

I've been looking at geany, and it looks interesting functionally, but
I'm not at all sold on it. Don't like lots of tool panes all over.
It's part of the reason I can't quite bring myself to use either
netbeans or eclipse regularly.

gedit works well enough for me, even though I pretty much keep gnome
off my system.

Could you please post a link to a screenshot? I experience Xfce doing a
better job for GTK + Qt apps than GNOME did and Mate does. For GNOME and
Mate Qt apps were/are an issue. Perhaps the space between the menus is
less wide, than it is using GNOME and I'm simply used to it, but at

I find it adequate; ~8months now; I am however reasonable with the command line.

I don't like mousepad editor however, and I don't gedit. So I installed gedit.

But gnome apps aren't configuring properly; in particular, in the menu
bar of gedit (and I've seen it elsewhere I think), all the menus are
jammed up against each other - no nice spacing between them. Anyone
know what I ought to install to make these gnome menus work properly
with XFCE4 ?
