Gnotski only works with Adwaita appearance theme in Xfce 4.8

Hi,

I should probably be reporting this to Debian, as the issue may not be
present upstream. And it would be nice for Debian's upcoming Wheezy
release to have this fixed. I'm mentioning it here before proceeding
with reportbug just because I wanted to be sure that it really was a
problem with Xfce themes and not something else.

I run Debian testing (with /etc/apt/sources.list set to use "testing"
rather than "wheezy").

I realize that a system like mine with a mixture of gtk3 and gtk2
applications and the gnome-games installed is going to show a few
peculiarities with respect to theming. The gtk2 apps all behave nicely
with Xfce's theming, the gtk3 apps look different from everything else
(especially when using a theme like darklooks), and the qt apps look
however they're going to look (but mostly pretty good).

However, I have noticed serious loss of playability in gnotski. Not sure
when it started. (I only play aisleriot or gnotski when I'm waiting for
something else to happen, which isn't often these days.)

Choosing any theme from appearance other than Adwaita results in
gnotski's blocks not showing movement properly when an attempt is made
to drag them. Resizing the game's window causes the new block positions
to be displayed properly. Simple as that. Works properly in Adwaita, not
in any other theme.

Yeah, I know. I should get a life.

;-)
