Description Enrico Tröger editbugs 2009-02-10 23:57:05 CET
In order to get a somewhat working Xfce installation into a custom prefix like /home/user/blah, GTK_PATH needs to be set in order to let GTK find the Xfce theme engine.

It should point to $libdir, something like
GTK_PATH="$GTK_PATH:/home/user/blah/lib/gtk-2.0"

Without setting this, GTK won't find the Xfce theme engine.



(There are alternative ways like symlinking libxfce.so into ~/.gtk-2.0/engines/ but this requires direct user interaction. Furthermore, since stuff like LIBGLADE_MODULE_PATH is also set in xinitrc, it would be just straightforward to also set GTK_PATH.)

Makes sense.
Comment 2 Jannis Pohlmann editbugs 2009-02-11 10:59:05 CET
Fixed in revision 29480:

    Export GTK_PATH variable in xinitrc so that GTK+ has a chance to find
    the Xfce theme engine even in a custom prefix (bug #4925).

Bug #4925
