Thanks!

I have tried some of the themes and found that Clearlooks workes OK.
One thing I noticed so far with it is that the Tool tips in Gimp has
black background and black text so you cant read them.
I  will put this on ice for now but if any know a good GTK them that
works good together with dark KDE themes let me know.
