That should not effect things. I have been using scratchbox trough
a symlink from /opt always.

The output from your previous mail included an x error to sapwood
server, that crashed it. That certainly will cause the
UI to loose the theming. Are you using Xnest? It can not
fake the colour depth of your display.

I'm not sure, but if the X on your Host is running at 24 bit colour depth 
and you run Xnest on top of that, also Sapwood running inside Xnest is 
reported the bitdepth 24. And it supports only 16 bit colour depth. So you 
must run Xephyr that can fake the colour depth or reduce the number of 
colours in your host X. First option sounds better I think :-)
