Bingo! It's the foster window that enables theming. At least it worked 
on a XP machine at school which I contaminated with Gtk# :-) . I 
attached the new test application which should now work at least on XP 
(the visual styles hack never worked on my Windows 7 machine). Again, it 
would be great if you could give it a try on your machine to ensure it 
works properly before we commit this.
