It turns out that the 'revolution.sh' file included an 'export' for 
GDK_PATH and GTK_PATH, but NOT GOBJECT_PATH... and after adding that 
in, I got the current Ubuntu widget theme!

(BTW, it looks like your GTK_PATH is pointing to libgjobject, not 
libgtk...)

So my 'revolution.sh' file looks like this:

-------
#!/bin/sh

export REV_GDK_PATH=/usr/lib/libgdk-x11-2.0.so.0
export REV_GTK_PATH=/usr/lib/libgtk-x11-2.0.so.0
export REV_GOBJECT_PATH=/usr/lib/libgobject-2.0.so.0
export REV_SSL_PATH=/usr/lib/libssl.so.0.9.7

# Needed to make symlinks/shortcuts work.
cd "/opt/Revolution-2.6.1"
runrev="./revolution.x86"
"$runrev" $* >& /dev/null

You can bet this is going on my Tips page! I'm going to check on 
Kubuntu, but I'll bet it's the same issue there as well...

Thanks, Chris!
