Gtk themes

[smoothmilk]

Yeah, it appears that whenever I open a program that tries to use my
theme, it says the following in the terminal i launched it from (for
example, up2date):

(up2date:4518): Gtk-WARNING **: Unable to locate theme engine in
module_path: "industrial",
 
(up2date:4518): Gtk-WARNING **: Unable to locate theme engine in
module_path: "industrial",
 
(up2date:4518): Gtk-WARNING **: Unable to locate theme engine in
module_path: "industrial",

It does that with most every program, evolution, gedit, gftp, xchat, any
of the redhat-config-* programs, etc.

So my question is, how do i recompile the module "industrial"? I never
actually compiled it before, I just copied the reference to it from the
"Industrial" theme and used it in my own theme. I have no clue where the
modules even are ;) I will mess around with the commands you gave and
see how it goes. Thanks for your help!

open("/home/gordon/.themes/Wonderland/gtk-2.0/gtkrc", O_RDONLY) = 18
open("/usr/share/themes/Default/gtk-2.0-key/gtkrc", O_RDONLY) = 18

I also see a reference to my GTK theme in gconf:
.gconf/desktop/gnome/interface/%gconf.xml:<stringvalue>Wonderland</stringvalue>

Remove references to your old theme, then recompile it (if it has an 
engine), reinstall it, and use the Theme preferences program to select 
it again.
