Package: gtk2-engines-xfce
Severity: normal
I'm trying to get a USB/IR dongle from Deys Electronics to work on my Sarge
system.
It comes with the Proxima Beamer software from Obexcode (www.obexcode.com).
Proxima,
in turn, is a GNOME application (according to the writeup). I had a hell of a
time
getting it to run. Whenever I started it from the command line, I got a
complaint:
Gtk-WARNING **: Unable to locate loadable module in module_path: "libxfce.so"
Well, as it turns out, libxfce.so was installed. I added it to the path in
/etc/ld.so.conf and ran ldconfig, and got the same warning.
It still didn't work. Further research found the answer on this very list: it
turns
out that the error above can mean, "You haven't selected a GTK theme." This
isn't
surprising since I don't run GNOME and never installed it on my box, just the
necessary libraries for GNOME apps like Firefox.
I installed gtk-theme-switch and ran switch. When I clicked "Apply" the
problem
ended.
Suggested fix: the error message should be
Gtk-WARNING **: You must select a GTK theme to use this program. You
can use the gtk-theme-switch package to do so.
