Can somebody point me to a link for some good documentation about how gtk
engines work, and where the lines between gtk engines and gtk themes are?
I've tried googling, but I don't understand the topic well enough to google
intelligently.  I understand gtk vs. qt and I understand different themes
w/in gtk, but this engine thing is a bit over my head--I'd love to read up
on it.

Thanks!
