Mozilla 1.6 doesn't properly handle radio buttons for the following gnome themes: Crux Ocean Dream The themes Simple, Grand Canyon, High Contrast, High Contrast Inverse, Mist, Smokey Blue and Traditional work properly. With the two malfunctioning themes: * All radio buttons in a group appeaer checked * The problem occurs only in Mozilla, not in other apps or system dialogs Clicking a radio button in mozilla selects the option, and the setting appears to stick. It looks as if the problem is only in the display of the buttons. Due to other problems with mozilla, I completely unmerged v1.6, deleted the remaining files in /usr/lib/mozilla (including the component registry which was _not_ deleted by the unmerge) and re-merged it. All the other problems went away except for the radio button problem. This is fairly obviously an upstream problem, however it's unclear to me whether to report it to the mozilla team or the gnome team. Since the problem only manifests in mozilla 1.6 dialogs, it looks like a mozilla problem, however since all but 2 of the standard gnome themes work properly in this version of mozilla, it may indeed be a gnome bug. I'll be happy to move the problem upstream and report it there if one of the kind and generous gentoo devs who know so much more about this sort of thing than I do will advise re. which direction to go with it. Mozilla was built with 'USE="gtk2" emerge mozilla'.

Yes, you should take this upstream (if you care about it that much). Sorry for the long delay. Of course, test first to make sure it's still a problem. Personally I would just avoid the problematic themes until they're fixed by somebody at mozilla.org (or gnome.org) that notices. Thanks!
