Description:

running Xfce when trying to open any gtk3 app they fail to open the proper gtk3 theme.

[andyrtr@workstation64 ~]$ env | grep -i gtk
GTK_MODULES=canberra-gtk-module
GTK_PATH=:/usr/lib/gtk-2.0
[andyrtr@workstation64 ~]$ cat /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc.d/40-libcanberra-gtk-module
#!/bin/sh

if [ -z "$GTK_MODULES" ] ; then
GTK_MODULES="canberra-gtk-module"
else
GTK_MODULES="$GTK_MODULES:canberra-gtk-module"
fi

export GTK_MODULES

[andyrtr@workstation64 ~]$ epiphany

this happens because gtk2 and gtk3 both use GTK_MODULES and GTK_PATH.

JGC, any reason that we have that exported?

This export was done to make sure GTK always loads canberra. I don't know if it's still required, but to me that GTK_PATH setting looks really wrong. Where does that come from?

[andyrtr@workstation64 ~]$ pacman -Qo /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc.d/40-libcanberra-gtk-module
/etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc.d/40-libcanberra-gtk-module ist in libcanberra 0.26-5 enthalten

Yes, I know where the file comes from, but where does GTK_PATH come from?

xfce-utils contains this in /etc/xdg/xfce4/xinitrc:

# Export GTK_PATH so that GTK+ can find the Xfce theme engine
GTK_PATH="$GTK_PATH:/usr/lib/gtk-2.0"
export GTK_PATH

any workaround before the upstream fix? now that gnome 3 is in extra app such as evolution,evince etc show this problem
Comment by Andreas Radke (AndyRTR) - Sunday, 01 May 2011, 16:23 GMT
I've set in Xfce apperance "Advaita" to use. So it keeps my gtk2 theme and switches properly the gtk3 theme. Not a solution but a workaround for me for now.
