Since I don't use gnome for my desktop (I use fluxbox), I probably can't
help much. But here are some things you might want to check.
After you upgraded, firefox and thunderbird were moved to
/usr/local/bin, correct?
In firefox, under Tools/Themes, are you using the firefox default theme?
(This should use the current gtk theme). If you have any other themes
installed, what happens if you switch, then switch back to the default
theme?
In your firefox prefs.js file, is there any reference to X11R6?
Do you have any other .gtkrc* files in ~ ? Take a look at the contents
there.
Are you using the emulation linux firefox/thunderbird? If so, take a
look at:
http://www.metasyntax.net/index.php?section=unix&page=gtkqt
What happens if you put the path to the theme in .gtkrc-2.0 and restart
firefox? Take a look at the url above and the reference to
include "/usr/X11R6/share/themes/Clearlooks/gtk-2.0/gtkrc"
(of course you'll want to change X11R6 to local and Clearlooks to
whatever your theme is)
And do you still have anything left in /usr/X11R6/share/themes after
your upgrade? I do, just stuff I installed there myself. If you do,
consider copying or moving them to /usr/local...
What is in ".gtkrc-2.0-scrollbar_cog"? Any reference to X11R6?
I did have the same problem you did after upgrading. But ALL of my gtk
apps had the same default appearance, and as I said, I just had to
change .gtkrc-2.0 from /usr/X11R6... to /usr/local...
