Comment 16 for bug 334991

Well let's revisit the bug:
 - eclipse does not work with compact setting
 - Notes does not work with these settings too.

So we might try to not apply the compact styles used in New Wave and see what happens. Here's how we do it:

1. Find the line in your New Wave gtkrc file (~/.themes/ or /usr/share/themes/):
widget "*swt*toolbar*" style:highest "newwave-toolbar-noimage-small"

2. Comment it out like that:
# widget "*swt*toolbar*" style:highest "newwave-toolbar-noimage-small"

3.Save the gtkrc ile and reset the theme from the Appearance manager

Is there any difference? Maybe the match "*swt*toolbar*" is not correct. Try to remove the star at the end to apply to the toolbar only not the widgets in it: "*swt*toolbar" . Any other results?
