[Pkg-kde-extras] Bug#790768: gtk3-engines-oxygen: Does not work with GTK 3.16+

[Bernhard Schmidt]

Package: gtk3-engines-oxygen
Version: 1.4.1-2
Severity: important
Tags: upstream

Hi,

more for the record than an actual bug to be fixed ...

For a couple of days by GTK3 applications running on KDE have been
looking like hell (basically no theming). GTK2 applications are fine, 
other GTK3 themes (i.e. Adwaita) are fine as well.

After some searching I stumbled across

https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Uniform_Look_for_Qt_and_GTK_Applications#Styles_for_both_Qt_and_GTK.2B
https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=1518404#p1518404
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=340288
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=735211

which basically means that oxygen-gtk is not supported anymore
with GTK 3.0 and there are no plans to fix.

I have not verified those claims since I cannot easily downgrade
GTK, but it seems to be pretty much the official statement.

Bernhard
