Re: Is it Ximian or Gnome 1.4 that causes this window managerproblem

[Jason McDonald <jmcdonald vistasource com>]

I don't know if this is related, but is anyone else having trouble with
Gnome themes?  When I installed Nautilus, it seems to have sort of
*imposed* itself on all the other Gnome themes that I try to use.  That
is to say, if I set a theme with a black dialog background, it won't set
the black, it will still use the grey from the Default theme.  I tried
looking in the Default theme's .cfg file, but with Nautilus, it seems to
be empty...
