Hi I'm having trouble fetching the parent article. I'm a KDE user (Slackware 12.0) and use Emacs with no trouble thanks to the GTK-QT Theme Engine (http://www.kde-look.org/content/show.php?content=9714) version 0.7. With version 0.6 I had my QT background in Emacs, which was the typical "default background" (usually grey) behind my default face. However, with the new version, I get full control of the default background. The theme engine also makes it easy to switch GTK themes if I want to use a different desktop (e.g., Enlightenment) temporarily. Joel -- Joel J.
