[gps-users] Using a .gtkrc

[Bobby D. Bryant]

I set up a ~/.gps/gtkrc to redefine the foreground and background 
colors in GtkTextView widgets, hoping to change the background of the 
program text in the main GPS viewer/editor, which by default is written 
in the color of my general GTK+ theme.

The change does not seem to have any effect.  Actually, whenever I open 
a file for editing or switch between the tabs for different source 
files I get a brief flash of my specified color in the column where the 
line numbers are written, but it is immediately overwritten by the 
white background of the line numbers.  I don't even see that brief 
flash of color for the main background.

Is what I am trying to do even possible?  Am I changing the colors for 
the wrong widget type?  Is GPS perhaps applying my general GTK+ theme 
_after_ applying whatever is in ~/.gps/gtkrc, and it is just repainted 
so fast that I don't see it?

FYI, I am running the precompiled "Academic Version" that was just 
announced, on a Linux system.

Thanks,
