Question

[Surya Kiran Gullapalli <skg fluent co in>]

Hi,
This is a question, and i dont know where to post it, and end up posting 
in 3 lists. Apologies for any inconvenience.

I've developed a small application using gtkmm (2.8.0). the application 
runs fine, but the appearance is some what bothering me.
Gnome-2.12 says, the default theme for gnome is clearlooks.

when i run a different desktop (say kde, or fvwm) my application will 
not use the clearlooks theme. It uses default gtk theme. or whatever.

But when i start a gnome application, say gnome-font-properties for 
example, then my application starts using that theme. So i was forced to 
start the dummy gnome application, every time i dont use the 
gnome-desktop. Is it the expected behaviour, or am i missing some thing 
here.

If i deploy my application using gtk, the end user will not be able to 
use the clearlooks theme, if he/she does not have gnome-2.12 running. 
Don't you think this is a problem? Clearlooks is a great theme, and i 
want to use it always.


Thx in advance,
Surya
