Faces inheriting colors from gtk theme

[Jeremy Nickurak]

I've read and observed that emacs24 uses standard gtk colors for the  "region" face.

Is it also supposed to do that for other faces? Or is there a way to get that behavior?

In particular, it would seem natural to define faces as follows:

(cursor ((t (:foreground "theme_selected_fg_color_" :background "theme_selected_bg_color_"))))

(mouse ((t (:foreground "theme_selected_fg_color_" :background "theme_selected_bg_color_"))))

(fringe ((t (:foreground "theme_fg_color_" :background "theme_bg_color_"))))

(border ((t (:foreground "theme_fg_color_" :background "theme_bg_color_"))))

(mode-line ((t (:foreground "theme_fg_color_" :background "theme_bg_color_" :box (:line-width -1 :style released-button)))))

(mode-line-buffer-id ((t (:foreground "theme_fg_color_" :background "theme_bg_color_"))))

(mode-line-inactive ((t (:foreground "theme_fg_color_" :background "theme_bg_color_"))))

(minibuffer-prompt ((t (:foreground "theme_fg_color_" :background "theme_base_color_"))))

(region ((t (:foreground "theme_fg_color_" :background "theme_selected_bg_color_"))))

(secondary-selection ((t (:foreground "theme_fg_color_" :background "theme_selected_bg_color_"))))

(tooltip ((t (:background "theme_tooltip_bg_color_" :foreground "theme_tooltip_fg_color_"))))

(default ((t (:foreground "theme_fg_color_" :background "theme_base_color_")))))

... where the theme_X_colors were derived from the appropriate gtk color scheme property.

On an opposite note...

Is it possible to disable the use of gtk colors for region?

My advice would just be to run as fast as you can from the Gtk build of
Emacs. Not only will you avoid color theming conflicts, but you will
also avoid the notorious "X hiccups cause Emacs to hang" issue, as in
this message:
