Folks,

Whenever I start up kde, I'm find that every time I have to load up the
gnome control center to change my gtk2 theme. Does anyone here know what I
need to do to set it once and forget it?

Heres what I did.... go open your home folder, let's say root.
click View... Then... Click "Show Hidden Files".

In the root folder you will see: /root/.kde
Click on the .Kde folder and you will see a folder
called: Autostart

Open the Autostart folder and put in a link
for the gnome control center.
That's what I did to help kde fonts,
I let the Autostart folder load: gnome-font-properites
to control my "Application Fonts" such as Mozilla or Azureus.

Is there no solution so that I can just set the theme once and not have to
set it again? Your solution simply loads up the gnome control center at
the start of my kde session.

I don't quite understand your question.

Is your problem that KDE changes your GTK theme? If thats so, in KDE's
controc center there's an option 'Apply KDE colors to non KDE applicatoins'
or such, un-check that option and everything would be ok.

I have my gtk themes set a certain way. When I load up kde, the themes are
different from how I set them, so I have to load up the gnome control
center theme module in kde to adjust it. As soon as it loads, the problem
is solved, and just the act of loading the gnome theme manager corrects it.
I want to load kde and have the gtk themes where I left them.

Yes. gnome-control-center spawns gnome-settings-daemon, which is the
background process responsible for theming your GTK applications. So you
could add gnome-settings-daemon to your Autostart directory instead. You
can start gnome-control-center subsequently if you wish to change the
theme.

Alternatively, create a file called .gtkrc-2.0 in your home directory and
add a line like the following:

include "/usr/share/themes/Industrial/gtk-2.0/gtkrc"

if you want the Industrial theme, for example. This will "fix" the GTK
theme in all environments (not just KDE), and will override your choice
of theme in the control center.
