Apps run as root appearing like win 98 style after installation of gnome 3

Question

I installed Gnome 3 using Ricotz's PPA. Then all windows using sudo and gksu is looking like its running under windows 98. System Specs:

Intel Core 2 duo

Nvidia 6200

Ubuntu 11.04

I also installed the Adwance theme.

I don't see GNOME3 in any of ricotz's PPAs, can you edit your question to be more specific as to which PPA you're using?

The answer to this is to fix the gtk2 theme to do that:

and in themes, select Ambiance instead of Adwance

Now this should be fixed
