This problem seems to do with Gtk Qt Theme Engine but I'm reporting separately
because I could see no connection to the description of bug 114770. There is
chance also of this being a problem with a third party, non-supported
application, in which case I apologise.

I upgraded from SUSE 9.2 to SUSE 10.0 RC1. In SUSE 9.2 I used to run the acrobat
reader 7.0 installed from rpms instead of the distribution supplied pdf reader.

Since I upgraded, when I try to run the acroread application I get the following
error message:
~> acroread
/home/guerra/.gtk_qt_engine_rc:33: error: unexpected character `{', expected
character `}'

And the application doesn't start.

I've checked the file .gtk_qt_engine_rc (which is appended in the end of the
message) and cannot find the supposed mismatching braces. Although, I found some
inconsistencies in the nested braces: sometimes the sub-braces in the nested
group are separated by comma whereas other times they are separated simply by
carriage return.

I have another computer running SUSE 9.2 and it seems to run despite the
inconsistency.

I've tried to separate all nested braces with comma instead of carriage return
and then I got no error messages anymore, but the application still didn't run.

If I delete the file, it is automatically re-generated and the error persists.
If I remove all lines of the file it doesn't complain but also doesn't work.

I've tried to re-install the application Acrobat Reader 7.0 both from rpm and
also using the tar.gz version and the problem is still there. I'm not sure if
the problem is with this application or with this Gtk Qt Theme Engine.
