  Hmm.  You're probably right about the theme installation directory--it depends
on where you installed GTK+ (on my system it's /usr/local/gnome).  Have
you tried the two themes recently posted on gtk.themes.org (Blue and
Coolness)?  I just downloaded them and they work right after being untarred
(some of the themes there need to be tweaked in various ways to work
correctly).  Try untarring them in /usr/local/share/themes and see whether
they work.  If they do the problems with the other themes are probably not your
fault.:-)

  Aside from broken theme files, the only thing I can think of is that your
engines are confused.  Do the themes shipped with GTK+ (Pixmap, Redmond95, etc)
work for you?
