Hi Brian,

Perhaps for a question of space in the live CD, perhaps for some another
unknown reason, the Edgy does not come with all GTK2 engines installed. This
must be your problem. Just install the correct engine and everything must
come back to the normality. If you don't know which engine that it uses,
look inside the folder gtk-2.0 of the theme folder (normally in
/usr/share/themes or .themes in your home folder) for the file gtkrc. Inside
of it, find a line with the word "engine" and you will discover which of
them it uses.

I had a similar problem here and this brought me a solution.
