You are perhaps changing the theme for GTK+ 2, whereas the programs you mention are using GTK+ 1 - or the other way around. The two versions of the toolkit have different themes as they operate quite differently, so have to be set using different programs.

Try emerge "<control-center-2", and then gnomecc to execute it and you should be able to change themes from there.

As far as I understood it when I lived there, pov is short for poverty... Kinda means it looks like someone who needs to buy their clothes from the salvation army... Australians are extremely politically incorrect :oops:
