I downloaded GitEye from http://www.collab.net/downloads/giteye and started it on my Linux Kubuntu 14.4. Then I selected my git project. This worked until I press on the "Git Files" register: GitEye crashes:
$ ./GitEye

I think it might be the reason that I use oxygen-gtk for GTK2: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=339174
After I switched oxygen-gtk for GTK2 to Raleigh in my System Settings, GitEye hasn't been crashing anymore - however it looks atrocious.
I read through the bug report, but I did not understand what I could do to fix this issue. What can I do?
BTW: Is this the right site or should I ask the question at Linux&Unix or at askUbuntu?
The bug is in KDE: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=339174
There is a patch there, or the easier option is the workaround:
For oxygen, edit the normally already existing file "/usr/share/themes/oxygen-gtk/gtk-2.0/gtkrc" and change GtkComboBox::appears-as-list = 1 into GtkComboBox::appears-as-list = 0
