I had to test some of the observations here,
since I was not seeing the reported issue on my systems..

All of my boxen have both correct titles and toolbar names
when using the gtk2 suite of apps..

Booting into a pristine LiveCD, I now see the "Unnamed" titles..
Installing the gnu-utils.dsl seems to remove the issue for me.

Unless I'm running DSL on a low-ram box or lappy,
I always install, as a rule, the dsl-dpkg.dsl and gnu-utils.dsl extensions.
Busybox has some real limitations on large file sizes, and some other
apps ( like tar ) that are unacceptable for my daily usage.

Install gnu-utils, see if the titles now operate correctly, and feedback.

Ok, I tried gnu-utils and it does indeed fix the "Unnamed" problem for all the GTK2 apps I tried except my ROX2 extension. But since ROX2 is something I hacked together quickly out of .deb packages, it's likely that's the problem

I have to say that I'm very curious why gnu-utils fixes this?! I may have to dig into that someday.

Thanks,

I'm downloading the GNU-Utils now

It may be that there is a small binary or library in gnu-utils that is required by these GTK2 apps.

If so, it may be possible to wrap this file into the gtk2 extension but further testing is needed to figure out who is the culprit, although it is not what I would call a critical problem.

Some insight might also be gained by comparing the files inside the old gtk2 extension against the new gtk2 extension.
