I try to be as thorough in my sig line, but that has been changing a lot
lately. Sorry about the lack of info/confusion. To answer your
questions, I have KDE as my desktop for my user account. And it's set up
to start in X-windows on bootup, ie. I don't get a terminal first and
use startx.

Yeah. Seems like the GNOME apps are stuck with "bluecurve" theme and
even if I went and started a session in GNOME instead of KDE and changed
it, it still doesn't reflect the changes (even if I save them) when I go
back to KDE. Odd. Maybe it's something I have to poke around with a bit
later. :)
