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

[John Knight]

Hi Sergey,

Thanks for the response and for taking the time to look at the problem 
with me; very much appreciated.

Respectfully, that doesn't sound correct though; XULrunner is a high 
level ui toolkit that binds to gtk2 (and also bind to cocoa and win32 
for other platforms).

Firefox and Thunderbird are still very much using gtk2 for their 
applications, they just aren't using c/c++ bindings but instead using 
crossplatform XULrunner (which can render using other toolkits making it 
cross platform) which in turn calls gtk2 to write the widgets to screen, 
as opposed to being a completely unique toolkit like motif or qt or 
using gtk2 directly.

Here's the ticket tracking work Mozilla is doing moving from gtk2 to 
gtk3 for some time in the future, showing they are most definitely using 
gtk2 when rendering xul configurations fed into xulrunner on *nix 
platforms:  https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=627699

The only two themes that are problematic, Ambiance and Radiance, are 
each using the same Murrine gtk2 engine that Ubuntu ships.  I recently 
discovered Clearlooks and all other gtk2 themes I load do not have the 
same issue as Thunderbird renders seemingly every other gtk2 correctly 
for the scrollbars.
