gtk-qt-engine

1.gtk-qt-engine must be installed and configured
2.try to start a gnome session
3.

Actual Results:

Not a gnome package, reassigning.

Same problem her, I adjunt my .Xsession-errors:
SESSION_MANAGER=local/tux:/tmp/.ICE-unix/4364
esd: Esound sound daemon already running or stale UNIX socket
/tmp/.esd/socket
This socket already exists indicating esd is already running.
Exiting...
Gnome-Message: gnome_execute_async_with_env_fds: returning -1

this is known. You need to switch to another theme when using gnome.

If you want this changed please figure out why it crashes, have a look at gtk-engines-qt sources and fix it.
You can then submit the patch upstream and reopen this bug asking me to add it to portage.
With the next version of this theme I will also warn in postinst about this, thanks.
