Hi,
I've seen this on kde installs such as VectorLinux where the ~/.gtkrc(-2.0)? file specifies a
theme that may be incomplete. Changing the theme to the Default: include
"/usr/share/themes/Default/gtk-2.0/gtkrc" makes the problem go away. I'm not sure what is the
cause, if in fact the theme is broken/incomplete etc.
Let me know if this makes a difference for you.
take care,
jason
