This is running Lenny, so it's still at 2.12. Perhaps that's the entire 
difference, that the Xubuntu I'm looking at has 2.14.

I'll try backporting 2.14 from unstable. Thanks for pointing that out.

In all of my experimentation I had already rebuilt Xfce 4.6 from 
experimental. All in all, I would rather stick with the GTK 2.12 from 
Lenny, so if you could give me any more information about playing with 
the XSETTINGS I would appreciate that. Also, I don't mind patching code, 
since I am set on using 4.6 anyway.

Thanks,
