Thanks for the reference.  I see one possible solution is to change the
gtk-theme.  I don't know how to do it. I am using gnome and have tried a
different theme under 'Appearance' options in the menu but that did not
make any difference.

Somewhere I have seen that a reboot or two did solve the problem.  I
cannot reboot my computer now as it is busy with a task that will keep
it busy for a few days.  Will see then.

Regards
Johann
