Bug Description

Binary package hint: gnome-screensaver

Since in new build of Gnome ScreenSaver was moved to using GtkBuilder some of fields on the lock dialog cannot be "styled" by external gtkrc file for selected theme. (Theme can be converted from Glide to GtkBuilder format by glade3 or gtkbuilder-convert utility)

in the gtkrc file we have such strings (see full listing of file in the attached file):

# Customize the widgets
widget "*.auth-prompt-entry" style "textbox"
widget "*.auth-prompt-label" style "promptlab"
widget "*.auth-realname-label" style "username"
widget "*.note-tab-label" style "username"
widget "*.auth-username-label" style "pcnickname"
widget "*.away-message-label" style "pcnickname"
widget "*.auth-capslock-label" style "pcnickname"
widget "*.auth-status-label" style "statusmsg"

widget "*.auth-prompt-kbd-layout-indicator.*" style "hbox"
widget "*.auth-prompt-kbd-frame" style "hbox"

widget "*.auth-action-area.*" style :highest "label-black"
widget "*.auth-note-area.*" style :highest "label-black"

If we look on the lock dialog the styles will not applies.

After invistigating the code I found that to use such ids in the gtkrc file we need to call gtk_widget_set_name() for each needed field. In the code such calling is not exists. (see http://library.gnome.org/devel/gtk/2.21/GtkWidget.html#gtk-widget-set-name)

I try to make path for this but I'm not able to check the functionality after applying the path. Sorry. :)

The sample of lock theme was also attached to defect.
Since is the regression due to moving to new engine I think the status of this defect should High.
