Menu bar in xfce terminal

[Marshall Neill]

Now I am confused, lol.   Usually there is a gtkrc for the older GTK 
implementation and the following is usually the GTK+
variants.
gtk.css   often defines just the colors that will be used
then it 'imports' something like the following.
@import url("gtk-contained.css");
where all the controls are manipulated in reference to layout, some 
coloring, etc.
Now just using the gtk.rc file will result in the GTK+ side defaulting 
to 'I have no freaking idea' but some what of a presentable interface, 
but with no GTK+ enhancements.
So when you got that error editing the gtk-contained.css, I'm guessing, 
you would have been able to fix the error.
But as you posted, you are happy with the current setup, go for it.

Regards.
