Not sure the exact component to file this against, but this has been a peev of mine for some time. This is one of those issues that doesn't jump out as a bug or a problem at first...but when added with the many other minor desktop inconsistencies it seems to take away from the end-user desktop experience. When a user runs a config tool through consolehelper as a non-root user, the application uses the root users' gtkrc settings. This does not seem to be correct. If the end-user is using a theme other than what the root user is configured to use...the look 'n feel of the consolehelper-spawned window just doesn't fit. Somehow, the consolehelper spawned window should use the user's theme settings. This is already the behavior for some settings. For example fonts and window manager (slightly different) settings are inherited already. Granted these are different in the back-end but they provide for the same consistent look and feel.
[This is a mass update sent to many bugs that missed earlier such messages due to having their version set to a test version.] This bug was originally filed against a version of Fedora Core which is no longer supported, even for security updates. Many changes have occured since then. Please retest this bug against a still supported version. Note that FC3 and FC4 are supported by Fedora Legacy for security fixes only. If it still occurs on FC5 or FC6, please assign to the correct version. Otherwise, if this a security issue, please change the product to Fedora Legacy. Thanks, and we are sorry that we did not get to this bug earlier. This bug will be closed after a few weeks if no information is given indicating that the bug is still present in a supported release.
Closing per lack of response to previous request for information. This bug was originally filed against a much earlier version of Fedora Core, and significant changes have taken place since the last version for which this bug is confirmed. Note that FC3 and FC4 are supported by Fedora Legacy for security fixes only. Please install a still supported version and retest. If it still occurs on FC5 or FC6, please reopen and assign to the correct version. Otherwise, if this a security issue, please change the product to Fedora Legacy. Thanks, and we are sorry that we did not get to this bug earlier.
