Toolbar corruption on some GTK apps

[vikrant82]

I am on latest everything on precise kubuntu. Noticing some UI corruption, specially when I enable toolbars in some GTK+ apps like remmina, gwibber etc.. Anyone else confirms ? I am using oxygen-gtk. I have gtk3-engines-oxygent installed. Accordingly (following tips from somewhere) I have created a settings.ini file in my ~/.config/gtk-3.0 folder, which used to work some time back. If I now delete this, the corruption is no longer there but the theme is gone as well (Its back to ugly default)

Not sure if this is related but earlier today I made a dist-upgrade and everything seemed to run smooth as ever and then I tested a new icon theme uploaded on kde-looks. Logged out n' in, then I had some nasty thing that made firefox background all black and text black too (Same in inkscape) I'm still not sure if it was gtk-qt with upgrade or icon theme that made the change but after some research where gtk-qt were made me aware that gtk-qt-engine was located at /usr/share/themes/

Try change the 'workpath' at systemsettings > application appearance > GTK+ Appearance and add above mentioned /usr/share/themes/ (I also added /usr/share/ )

if necessary log in and out.

Hope this helps

Confirming this. Distortion also appears in synaptic -> repositories dialogs, freetuxtv and y ppa manager. Changing GTK+ Appearance workpaths didn't help. No idea what's causing this. Happens with free and proprietary display drivers (nvidia), so at least it's probably not driver related (unlike the blackening issue).

Temporary workaround is to use qtcurve or raleigh (etc) as gtk appearance style.

This should be caused by the gtk appearance and not graphic drivers, not sure why it doesn't solve it for you though.

I have another problem with gtk apps, inkscape crash with a reported bug changed to releigh keeps it from crashing but Oh my does it look like "1999" lol but it work without crashing, which is all I need right now.
