Thats weird, the about dialog has no code, its all controled automaticly via
gtk/glade magic you dont add any actions/events or anything to them when they
are made with glade, possibly something changed in the new release of it so I
will need to look into the code.

That is correct, some people seem to have never learned to use tar and have no
idea how to make a package, my app basicly looks via regex to try to figure out
how they packaged the style, then takes a best guess and installs it. If the
person packaged it correctly where it has a structure like:

niftyStyle/
niftyStyle/pixmaps
niftyStyle/pixmaps/(some pixmaps)
niftyStyle/theme.cfg
niftyStyle/preview.jpg

OR its like:

.fluxbox/styles/niftyStyle
.fluxbox/styles/niftyStyle/pixmaps
.fluxbox/styles/niftyStyle/pixmaps/(some pixmaps)
.fluxbox/styles/niftyStyle/theme.cfg
.fluxbox/styles/niftyStyle/preview.jpg

My app will install it correctly, basicly me and another guy downloaded 300
styles and found these 2 ways to be the absolute most common among the
community, with a few here and there that were packaged by someone who had no
idea how to make a package (which is almost impossible to check for) Maybe I
could add to my regex to check for the bast archive to have more than one dir in
it, and if so then to stop the install and tell the user that style is not
packaged correctly and for them to manually install or something??

What kind of help, I would like to make this thing as user friendly as possible. :)

And is it OK to use this bugzilla to be discussing issues like this for my
upstream package or shuold this be ended and moved to the bug tracker for the
project?

http://developer.berlios.de/bugs/?group_id=3813 I guess this is my bug page or
what ever for the project
