[Bug 67694] Re: gtk2-engine switches to gtk1-engine when installing

[Michael Vogt]

*** This bug is a duplicate of bug 24280 ***

Thanks for your bugreport.

The effect you see here is that gdebi has to run as root for the actual
install. This switches the theme because it switches the user. We would
have to add something to gksu to preserve the theme.

Cheers,
 Michael
