Description Rex Dieter 2011-03-10 14:13:22 UTC
Unsure if this belongs here (gnome-themes-standard) or against gtk2/gtk3, but as of F15-alpha, the only pkg in the distro that provides /etc/gtk-2.0/gtkrc (and simililarly /etc/gkt-3.0/settings.ini) is gnome-themes-standard which is not a required dependendency for gtk2, gtk3 respectively.

So, systems without gnome-themes-standard installed, like any non-gnome spin, end up with ugly anaconda, firstboot (and others possibly).

Options off the top of my head (not necessarily mutually exclusive):
1.  gtk2, gtk3 packages include dependencies on *something* that provides a default/sane /etc/gtk-2.0/gtkrc and /etc/gtk-3.0/settings.ini, respectively
2.  provide some mechanism to be able to switch system gtk theming defaults that doesn't involve file/pkg conflicts
3.  <insert better idea here>

Comment 1 Kevin Kofler 2011-03-10 17:13:47 UTC
And dragging in gnome-themes-standard as is is not a good idea because that drags in several unwanted dependencies which are not required for GTK+ to work.

Specfile patch

Would the attached patch to the specfile be an acceptable solution?

This moves the GTK+ config files to the GTK+ theme subpackages. Those subpackages are required by gnome-themes-standard, so any installs which get the config files now will still get them dragged in. But with the change, it is enough to ship adwaita-gtk3-theme on a spin to get GTK+ 3 Adwaita-themed.

(FWIW, the gtk-icon-theme-name, gtk-button-images and gtk-menu-images settings should be mostly irrelevant, they will most likely get overridden through xsettings anyway, at least xsettings-kde does that. Only places like firstboot see them at all.)

Comment 3 Christoph Wickert 2011-03-21 17:11:09 UTC
As a result of bug 675509 the theme was split similar to Kevin's proposal, so I wonder if this is still a problem.

Comment 4 Kevin Kofler 2011-03-22 09:59:32 UTC
Yes. Check my patch in my proposal carefully, it is a followup to the changes from bug #675509. It moves the default GTK+ config files into the adwaita-gtk[23]-theme subpackages introduced by the fix for bug #675509.

Comment 5 Kevin Kofler 2011-03-25 02:41:55 UTC
Ping? Is the specfile patch I attached in comment #2 acceptable?

Comment 7 Kevin Kofler 2011-03-28 22:02:46 UTC
This "fix" is very wrong!

Dragging in gnome-themes-standard from adwaita-cursor-theme defeats the very purpose of the adwaita-cursor-theme split. This is not acceptable.

Comment 8 Kevin Kofler 2011-03-28 22:03:54 UTC
See also the discussion in bug 675509.

Comment 10 Kevin Kofler 2011-03-29 15:51:02 UTC
Uh no, gnome-themes-standard-2.91.93-3.fc15 doesn't fix this issue. (The broken "fix" got reverted, but no working one was applied.)

What do you think of my suggested fix from comment #2?

Comment 11 Cosimo Cecchi 2011-03-29 16:06:36 UTC
Kevin, now you're mistaken; your patch was applied indeed. See the spec file at http://pkgs.fedoraproject.org/gitweb/?p=gnome-themes-standard.git;a=tree;h=refs/heads/f15/master;hb=refs/heads/f15/master

Comment 12 Kevin Kofler 2011-03-29 17:15:39 UTC
Oh, indeed it's there, I still can't find the commit that made the change, but it's there. :-)

But you will have to file a new update request because the one you edited got unpushed due to bad karma.

Comment 14 Kevin Kofler 2011-04-05 23:02:37 UTC
gnome-themes-standard-3.0.0-1.fc15, which includes this fix (among other things) got pushed to F15 stable today and will be included in the F15 Beta.
