------- Additional Comments From pluby@sbcglobal.net 2005-23-11 18:20 ------- Important update: Additional experimentation with popular GTK Win32 software demonstrated that even GIMP (one of the most popular Linux Win32 ports) exhibited the same "black-on-black" behavior in Wine. However, I noticed that Gaim (the most popular Linux Win32 port) had it's own GTK installer... which I used, and which *solved the problem*. Gimp (and all my own apps) now all run beautifully.
So the urgency of this as a "wine bug", per-se, has dropped immensely -- that is wine is still acting different from Windows, but only in regard to what appears to be a "wine unfriendly" version of the GTK installers (so I suppose I should now contact the GIMP devlopers with my experience).
The wine-friendly Win32 GTK installers from Gaim are found here: http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/gaim/gtk-runtime-2.6.9-rev-a.exe?download
The wine-unfriendly Win32 GTK installers came from here: http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/gimp-win/gtk%2B-2.6.9-setup.zip?download
