Got it, and got your other message about editing it instead since it
already exists.

Perfect. Now my Claws Mail is ugly, but serviceable (using that Emacs
GTK theme) and all my other GTK programs can fully use my beautiful
hot pink Breeze theme unimpeded. I also replaced %u in the command
with --select inbox to force Claws Mail to open the inbox when it
loads, which takes care of the issue that started this little journey
of exploration.

Thank you so much, Brad. I'll keep these instructions for any
future programs that don't see eye-to-eye with my KDE theme.
