so here's the present state:
(a) Openoffice updated. no joy. notice also the drop box menus don't
have clear borders.
(b) had a problems with firefox: black background on toolbar items and
drop-down menus only appearing with mouse hover-over; fixed with a
work-around Slavek proposed some time ago: "create a symlink for files
from /usr/lib/gtk-3.0/3.0.0/theming-engines/ to
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/gtk-3.0/3.0.0/theming-engines/"
(c) so now new issues with Pan. I can't use KDE_Classic since that
gives Pan's top toolbar a black background and squeezes all the icons
too close together. changing to Plastik fixes some of this though
the text runs together and also no distinct borders.
SUMMARY:
so: text squeezed together in Pan 9.141; no borders on toolbar menus
in Pan and Openoffice 4.1.6; menu items only visible by mouse-over in
OpenOffice.
I figure this requires more deep-dives into GTK but not sure where to
start. wonder about further hares to chase.
I'd like to use KDE_Classic theme but I am forced to Plastik or
Redmond (seems best actually). GTK2 and GTK3 Styles set to "my TDE
style".

folks,
the OpenOffice problem is not fixed (menu items invisible except with
mouse-over). one rabbit-hole at a time.

Are you running the latest version of Openoffice.
It seems to be a shared bug between Libreoffice (which was resolved) and OO.
Apparently their theme engine is messed.
See if there's an update to OO.
