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