Ambiance theme has a syntax error in the gtkrc

[Martin Olsson]

Binary package hint: light-themes

$ chromium-browser
/usr/share/themes/Ambiance/gtk-2.0/gtkrc:122: error: unexpected identifier `separatorstyle', expected character `}'

[Alexey Kotlyarov (koterpillar)]

According to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Artwork/Documentation/Murrine#separatorstyle, "separatorstyle" is a (new?) feature of murrine.

also true of Radiance: /usr/share/themes/Radiance/gtk-2.0/gtkrc:126: error: unexpected identifier `separatorstyle', expected character `}'

This "bug" cause skype to revert to the ugly default gtk theme.

[Ryan Thompson (rct86)]

This also happens using the beta of the maverick light-themes, and causes skype to use the ugly default GTK theme. Maybe the Skype binary is linked against an old version of Qt whose GTK mode is unable to handle the new Murrine options?

Here's the error message:

/usr/share/themes/Ambiance/gtk-2.0/gtkrc:100: error: unexpected identifier `default_button_color', expected character `}'
