The ebuild information is outdated. einfo "For gtk themes to work correctly after an update, you might have to rebuild your theme engines." einfo "Executing 'qpkg -f -nc /usr/lib/gtk-2.0/2.2.0/engines | xargs emerge' should do the trick if" einfo "you upgrade from gtk+-2.2 to 2.4 (requires gentoolkit)." The correct information should be: qpkg -f -nc /usr/lib/gtk-2.0/2.4.0/engines | xargs emerge' Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3.
no, the problem will most likely hit on an 2.2 -> 2.4 upgrade because the engines (which are then still in 2.2 dir) can't be found by gtk+ 2.4. So this is still correct for the stable tree.
