After upgrade from Ubuntu 11.04 to Ubuntu 11.10 I got disappointed with Unity. I wanted my old-style Gnome 2 back. That's why i purged Unity and installed Xfce4. But, now i have a problem: All my Gtk+ apps i have used to (like Totem) have Windows 95 kind of interface...they look very bad. Is there any libgtk I should install to fix that? Currently, i have libgtk-3.0 installed but i'm kind of new to Linux so i don't even know if instaling some old libgtk would solve my problem.Can you guys help me?

You can change the theme of GTK applications by editing (resp. creating) ~/.gtkrc-2.0 to use installed themes, for example (adjustment needed!)include /usr/local/share/themes/ThinIce/gtk-2.0/gtkrcWhat you need to install is some gtk2-engines-* package.According to this, you can also use some GUI tool to choose a theme, Applications->Settings->User Interface Settings.By the way, I wanted my old-style Gnome 2 back  [so I] installed Xfce4. kind of confuses me.
