Details

The current gnome-themes and gnome-themes-extras are broken, as they will install the libraries for the themes for /opt/gnome instead of /usr. For GTK+2 to use them, they must be under /usr/lib/gtk-2.0/2.2.0/engines .

The following patches will fix this problem:

http://rdsarts.com/code/gnome-themes.patch
http://rdsarts.com/code/gnome-themes-extras.patch

I think they stay in line with the heirchy guidelines, as while they are technically from GNOME, they are just GTK+2 themes.
This task depends upon

*coughs* and ... err... the patches broke the metacity themes..

New patches for gnome-themes and gnome-themes-extras have been uploaded as-of 2003/10/26 15:40am GMT that fix that.

To use GTK+2 and Metacity themes that use SVG icons, a recompile of GTK+2 is required. For some reason, 2.2.4-1 has it as a dependancy when you add librsvg manually, but pacman does not pull it nor is the package compiled against it.

I don't get what this affects. Do the themes not work at all w/ gtk2?

As is, installing the themes would not allow them to be found for GTK+ 2. For GTK+ 2 to find them they needed to be under /usr/lib/gtk-2.0/...

When they are under GNOME's /opt/gnome structure, the engines can't be found for some reason. All the patchs do is move the GTK+ 2 theme engines to be under /usr/lib/... and leave the MetaCity themes alone. This appears to make everything happy and get everything to see everything.
