Nimbus painter implements a lot of methods that GTK LnF painter does 
not. GTK LnF painter only implements methods which are required to paint 
the native UI element, because the painting approach used in GTK toolkit 
is far different from Synth's painting approach and a lot of details 
cannot be painted separately there.
So I'd not recommend anybody to use the GTK LnF painter as an usual 
Synth painter.
