I am building a new workstation -- running Ubuntu 16.04 -- to replace an old and failing workstation. I used the TDE ISO to get 'things' started.
Several of my programs are displaying in a weird window format. (I am not sure if attachments are permitted, but) Attached are a couple of examples
Display_OK.png --- is a zenity --info --title=Display_OK --text="Hello World" running on my "failing" workstation.
Display_snafu.png --- is the same zenity --info --title=Display_OK --text="Hello World" running on the new workstation.
Bluefish_snafu.png --- is bluefish running on the new workstation.
I see the same for the AisleRiot solitaire program.
No doubt it is something "simple", but nothing comes to mind.
Thanks in advance, Jonesy

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 discouraged.
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" Gtk-Message: GtkDialog mapped without a transient parent. This is discouraged.

hmmmm, seems we all get different error messages...
# zenity --info --title=Display_OK --text="Hello World"
** (zenity:12307): WARNING **: Couldn't connect to accessibility bus: Failed to connect to socket /tmp/dbus-M1cCTTAoco: Connection refused
Popup/Dialog looks okay (just like Display_OK.png).
Ah, oops?, in TCC >> Theme Manager it shows a complete blank, so I'm guessing I have no theme selected, so it's using some default from don't know where...

Hi Jonesy,
you can try to 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/ ?
Cheers

Sávek,
Thanks for the reply and suggestion! That "sort of" fixed the window snafu.
(I wonder WHY that needed to be done when using a Trinity ISO install...)
But, the resultant window display is bizarre, and nearly unusable. See the two BlueFish window images for the good/expected appearance, and the new bad/bizarre/unusable appearance. Granted the version numbers between the two BlueFish are different, but that cannot explain the display appearance.
The only errors I see now when running BlueFish from the command line may not have a bearing on this appearance "issue":
|jonesy@nix5:~/tmp$ bluefish |error reading list 1 Error opening file: No such file or directory | |** (bluefish:22269): WARNING **: no configfile rcfile-2.0, try to | convert config files from older versions | |config file migration error 1:Error opening file: No such file or | directoryerror reading list 1 Error opening file: No such file or | directory
That last line above was - yes - all one line. Jonesy
