instead of the intended dark grey (almost black) background
color and a warning is printed:
(darktable:9681): Gtk-WARNING **: Unable to locate theme engine in module_path: "clearlooks", |

To me it seems that darktable wants to avoid using the user's theme and instead forces its own colors. Therefore, it tries to load a theme (clearlooks according to the error message) and modify its settings. Clearlooks was the default theme in GNOME 2, so this probably always worked. But with GNOME 3 Clearlooks has been replaced by Adwaita, so gtk-engines needs to be installed if you want to use Clearlooks (gtk-engines provides /usr/share/gtk-engines/clearlooks.xml and several other related files).
