OK, thanks Ian, appreciate the help in learning how to do these things.
If I uderstood correctly, here is what I did:
cd'd to /usr/lib/gtk/themes then did an rpm -q -f "engines"
Got the reply
file engines is not owned by any package
OK Does that mean it is safe to delete the "engines" directory?? It is
not really a file; it is really a directory, right?
