[Bug 36256] Re: gtk2-engines-gtk-qt causes GNOME-panel to crash upon startup and causes Gnome to look ugly

[David Sansome]

My intention was to solve this upstream by making the control center
module only apply its settings to apps inside KDE.  It would do this by
writing a script into ~/.kde/env to set the GTK2_RC_FILES (I think)
environment variable.  This script would only get run on KDE startup -
letting you choose your own themes to use in GNOME and XFCE.

However this still doesn't explain why GNOME crashes when using the
theme engine, as it works fine for me.  I'll investigate and see if I
can reproduce the problem.
