FAQ
Q: Some applications does not work. Is it bug?
A: It is Ok, and not bug of RGBA Gtk+ module.
Not all apps can use RGBA.
You SHOULD set up GTK_RGBA_APPS variable.
For example:
GTK_RGBA_APPS=gedit:gcacltool:gnome-help - Activate RGBA ONLY in gnome edit, gnome calculator and gnome help.
or
GTK_RGBA_APPS=allbut:gedit:gcacltool:gnome-help - Activate RGBA in ALL applications except listed.
P.S. Sorry for bad English.
