I can report that editing/etc/gtk-3.0/settings.ini successfully solved the problem on all applications that did not use the themes. This also worked on Audacious, but I forgot to mention it in the...

Hi,
I installed Lubuntu 13.04 and then decided I wanted to use openbox over the top of it.

Say I have a custom, testing saucy installation and I want to share it with friends on an installable live cd, can I do...

Thanks, I will try the method above once again and also test this. It looks very promising!

Thanks.

Glad to help with information and also glad to hear that you are starting to 'open the hood' on apt to see what happens when an upgrade goes wrong. And of course, remember for next time that it is...
