[ubuntu-art] possible light-themes/murrine bug, trying to find out who to contact

[John Knight]

Greetings,

I've been trying to track down a bug in Thunderbird regarding scrollbars 
using both Ambiance/Radiance themes not rendering correctly.  There is a 
bug report currently open here that was originally for Thunderbird 14 
but still exists in the newly released Thunderbird 15 package: 
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/thunderbird/+bug/1025935

I just posted comment #12 recently as I discovered this doesn't appear 
to be a bug in Thunderbird at all but rather either Murrine (the gtk2 
engine) and/or light-themes (whose package information says is 
maintained by this mailing list).

To sum up my findings so far, Thunderbird running with Clearlooks (used 
as Adwaita's gtk2 theme) does not have the problem (greyed out 
scrollbars), so I think I've narrowed it down to Murrine or 
light-themes.  I know you guys are definitely probably busy with other 
things, but I would greatly appreciate any help one might be able to 
offer me in an effort to make aware the proper maintainers of a possible 
bug.

It's entirely a visual bug, not a security bug so I realize the priority 
might be high but inconsistencies in the theme which affect core 
applications used by business customers I believe may damage the ability 
to fully convince people to fully adopt Ubuntu. I'm always trying to get 
my customers to adopt Ubuntu on the desktop whenever appropriate as it 
greatly reduces our support time as a small consultancy company.  This 
bug is affecting two of our customers who are having trouble using the 
scrollbars effectively as it renders in uniformly the same grey color 
and the Ubuntu overlay scrollbars do not yet work for gtk2 applications.

Apologies in advance if this was the wrong list to contact.  Just trying 
to help close a bug.
