AppImage hardcoded to use Adwaita light theme

Summary:

AppImage does not allow changing the GTK theme. GTK Inspector shows that the theme is hard coded with GTK_THEME, and sure enough, the Apprun contains the following line:

  export GTK_THEME=Default # This one should be bundled so that it can work on systems without Gtk

Commenting this out fixes the issue.

Steps to reproduce:

  • open Inkscape (AppImage v1.5)
  • Try changing the theme

What happened?

Nothing; theme always defaults to Adwaita.

What should have happened?

Theme should have changed.
