>Description:

gtk2-theme-switch does not check the return value of the fopen()
call in ok_clicked(), line 210 inside switch.c. For some reason,
I had some strange permissions on the ~/gtkrc-2.0 file that it
attempted to open and write to. The call failed and an invalid
pointer was passed to fprintf, causing a crash.

>How-To-Repeat:

$ chmod 000 ~/.gtkrc-2.0

$ gtk2-theme-switch

(click 'apply')

crash!

>Fix:

A simple fix would be to check the return value of the fopen()
call and display some sort of error. I don't know the gtk toolkit
well enough to do this though.

There are a quite a few unchecked fopen() calls in this program.
Be warned!
