KDE 3.5 Themes
Can you tell me what exact steps you did when installing MetaTheme?
To repair this, enter runlevel without X, you can achieve this by passing the parameter "3" to your boot loader. Then login in console as an ordinary user you're using, and run "metatheme-install -u", this should deactivate MetaTheme and set safe defaults. As you have problems with KDM too, it seems that you set MetaTheme also for user root, so login as root and type the same command. Then either type "init 5" or reboot. - Sep 25 2005

KDE 3.5 Themes by equinoxe 29 comments
MetaTheme now supports loading of MSSTYLE themes. Not only for KDE, but also for plain QT, GTK2 and Java/SWING, consistently. See the URL:

MetaTheme's main goal is to make full unification between all supported toolkits. The full unification means mainly two things: pixel-perfect look and the same or similiar behaviour of widgets between toolkits.
To fulfil this requirement MetaTheme provides through it's API only things that can be fully supported in all supported toolkits. Also each toolkit has a different set of widgets, so using theme engine from another toolkit is not sufficient for full unification.
At this time, MetaTheme supports only QT/KDE and GTK2 toolkits. But in future it will have support for others (like GTK1, Java, Mozilla, OpenOffice, and maybe others). - Jun 24 2004

Thanks for bug report.
Can you tell me what version of GTK and GCC do you have?
I've made a patch for the last error you mentioned. You can download it here:
http://jezek2.advel.cz/projects/metatheme/metatheme-scrollbar-spacing-fix.diff
Apply it by running this command in the metatheme directory:
patch -p1 < metatheme-scrollbar-spacing-fix.diff
Though it may not work, depending which other changes your GTK version has. - Jun 01 2004
