The gtkrc file has a problem, like showed in http://jaysonrowe.wordpress.com/2008/07/01/darklooks/, it should be patched to look like attached gtkrc.

Actually I can't see the difference, is it a before/after screenshot ? Could you simply surround relevant areas with something that makes it distinguishable like a red line ? Also please avoid external references and attach relevant files to the bug unless asked otherwise, thanks.
well. the difference are in this lines: diff gtkrc /usr/share/themes/Darklooks/gtk-2.0/gtkrc 181,182c181,182 < bg[NORMAL] = @tooltips_bg_color < fg[NORMAL] = @tooltips_fg_color --- > bg[NORMAL] = @tooltip_bg_color > fg[NORMAL] = @tooltip_fg_color in the letter 's' on tooltips (lines 181,182)in the original the 's' don't appear, like said on the bug page (http://jaysonrowe.wordpress.com/2008/07/01/darklooks/), if you try to use the theme with xfce4 for example with will fail, showing a grey ugly theme (gtk default).
the diff is good but I want to see what is the difference before/after this change. Also, did you notify upstream, did they already fixed it in svn maybe ?

You can see the difference in the 2 attached jpeg files, I'm searching the bug upstream now.
Yep, it's reported upstream http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=540796 the same seems to happen in arch linux.
ok, I've posted a comment upstream, hope they will do a release for 2.24 :) will commit this change as soon as I get to it.
fixed in 2.22.0-r1
