~/.gtkrc apparently not loaded

[David Pirotte]

Hello,

i am using a self compiled/installed version of guile 1.6.4 and self
compiled/installed version of guile-gtk-1.2-0.31 on a debian sarge/sid,

and and the gtk module does not load my ".gtkrc" unless I specifically
add the following line in my source code.

        (gtk-rc-parse "/usr/alto/staff/david/.gtkrc")

is this the expected behavior? it used to be loaded on my SuSE 8.3

thanks for some hint,
david
