Hi, I am trying to install SmartSVN on a Raspberry Pi 4.

When running the smartsvn.sh I get the following error:

If you experience strange GUI bugs or crashes, try setting GTK_THEME=Adwaita.

The Rpi is on the latest version of Raspberry PI OS (Bookworm). I installed Java RTE by installing the full version of Java JDK using this as a guide: https://pimylifeup.com/raspberry-pi-java/ This installs OpenJDK as I believe this is the best version of Java to run on an RPi.

To the best of my knowledge, I set the GTK_Theme to be Adwaita but the error log still shows that its thinks its not set to that.
