KDE Control Center write ~/.gtkrc-2.0 that causes many GNOME apps to crash

[Kurt Swanson]

Using KDE Control Center, Appearance & Themes, GTK styles and fonts, select the Glider style. A ~/.gtkrc-2.0 file will be written with the contents as listed below. This file will cause a number of GNOME apps to fail with various "glibc detected" messages, including acroread (once a pdf is opened), and zenity (at start-up). I believe a number of bug reports and forum questions about specific GNOME apps are due to this.

# This file was written by KDE
# You can edit it in the KDE control center, under "GTK Styles and Fonts"

include "/usr/share/themes/Glider/gtk-2.0/gtkrc"

style "user-font"
{
        font_name="Sans Serif 10"
}
widget_class "*" style "user-font"

gtk-theme-name="Glider"
gtk-font-name="Sans Serif 10"

That's a symptom of Bug 36256.
