Fluxbox and gnome-settings-daemon #

Torn asks: I was reading the fluxbox faq and found what I was looking for:
Q: Gtk2/Gnome2 applications look wired under Fluxbox, but they look ok when gnome is started
A: Run gnome-settings-daemon when Fluxbox starts, eg. put this into your ~/.xinitrc

Well, it works, but I’m using and enjoying fluxbox exactly because it doesn’t require tons of libraries and tools I just don’t need. I want just a bar and a menu, nothing less, nothing more.

I’m using debian, and installing gnome-control-center (which contains the settings-daemon) requires me to install more then 30 other packages! I was wondering if exists another tool like gnome-setting-daemon, or an hack to simulate it, in order to get gtk2 apps look nice without installing loads of unuseful things.

Thank you in advance, and keep on the good work, fluxbox rocks.

Good question indead, do you know such tool? If so please write me back.
