279 Most configuration can be accomplished by using the various preference
280 settings inside the programs. Additionally, you can create a
281 <filename>~/.gtkrc-2.0</filename> file which can store gtk+-2 theme
282 settings that affect <application>Pidgin</application> and other Gtk+ 2
283 applications. Note that an example <filename>gtkrc-2.0</filename> file
284 was installed during the package installation and can be used as a
285 starting point or reference.
