new GTK widgets could look better

Likely a xulrunner-1.9 issue, reassigning

Bruce,

It probably would have been better to mark this bug as a duplicate of mine: https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/195929

Please see my bug for a summary (and patches). The problem is complicated as

a) rendering of buttons can be (and have been) fixed in the theme engine's code (my bug has patches attached for gtk2-engines-murrine and gtk2-engines-ubuntulooks).
b) rendering of GtkEntry boxes cannot be fixed in GTK without "hacks", so cooperation is necessary from the Mozilla folks.

Please unmark my bug as a duplicate.

Newer bugs are marked duplicates of older ones, not the other way round. Therefore, bug #195929 is a duplicate of this one.

Bruce,

Yes, that is the general rule, except if a newer bug has made more progress or documented the issue more thoroughly. In my duplicate there is feedback from a GTK theme engine developer, and patches attached to fix half of the cases in this bug - they need to be seen more than this bare report.

For example, from Mozilla's duplicate process at http://www.mozilla.org/quality/help/screening-duplicates.html - "Other things being equal, newer bugs should be made DUPLICATES of older bugs, but, more importantly, whichever bug is further along in the process of getting fixed should not be made a duplicate."

Otherwise do I have to attach my patches and test cases here again, duplicating effort?
