how to use non system-wide installed gtk engine?

Hello!

I want to use the new oxygen-gtk engine, but at work I have no root rights. Thats why I installed the engine into an directory on my home directory. Now I have to tell GTK where to find this new engine. I tried the following solutions, but nothing works:

gtkrc-2.0: module_path: GTK_WARNING: module path now ignored

"GTK_PATH=/home/user/.gtk2.0/engines": does not work

Everytime I get:

Gtk-WARNING **: Unable to locate theme engine in module_path: "oxygen-gtk"

Is there any way to tell GTK where to find my user installed engine?

Regards,
iggy
