Several of my programs are displaying in a weird window format.

Attached are a couple of examples

I see the same for the AisleRiot solitaire program.
No doubt it is something "simple", but nothing comes to mind.
OBTW, it's Trinity 14.0.5 ...
I now see some error/diagnostic messages I did not see before:
$ zenity --info --title=Display_snafu --text="Hello World"
(zenity:20714): Gtk-WARNING **: Theme parsing error: gtk.css:4:14:
Theming engine 'tdegtk' not found
Gtk-Message: GtkDialog mapped without a transient parent. This is

Well,
$ locate tdegtk
/usr/lib/gtk-3.0/3.0.0/theming-engines/libtdegtk.la
/usr/lib/gtk-3.0/3.0.0/theming-engines/libtdegtk.so
/usr/lib/gtk-3.0/3.0.0/theming-engines/libtdegtk.so.0
/usr/lib/gtk-3.0/3.0.0/theming-engines/libtdegtk.so.0.0.0
/usr/share/themes/tdegtk
/usr/share/themes/tdegtk/gtk-3.0
/usr/share/themes/tdegtk/gtk-3.0/gtk.css
OK -- Now I'm definitely in an area where I have no knowledge or
experience.
How do I fix this?
Thanks in advance,
Jonesy
I don't have gtk-qt-engine-trinity or gtk3-tqt-engine-trinity installed
so I don't get the Gtk-Warning and the dialog looks Ok.
$ zenity --info --title=Display_snafu --text="Hello World"
