Description:
I just installed the plank package to try out the dock.

When I start it, I am flooded with warnings like:

[WARN 21:16:13.135877] [Preferences:384] Missing key 'UrgentHueShift' for group 'PlankDockTheme' in preferences file '/usr/share/plank/themes/Transparent/dock.theme' - using default value

This no matter which theme I set.
The warnings take a lot to process, on my system about 20 seconds, after which Plank starts normally.
Maybe related:
1) Plank settings (Ctrl + right-click on dock) look very strange. I don't get any button, arrow or sliders, just text (on which I can click, and on some buttons, e.g. Theme, a menu appears)
2) Plank does not installa a user config file in ~/.config/plank/dock1/settings : this also conflicts with plank-config, which is not finding a settings file and thus fails to start.


This is on an up-to-date Plasma5 system with breeze-gtk and gtk3 installed.


Steps to reproduce:
Install plank;
run plank.
This task depends upon

Try the default GTK3 theme.

As I said, this behavious is shown no matter which of the included default themes is used, unfortunately.

1) I don't see where you said that previously
2) What "included default" themes are you talking about? I specifically mean the GTK3 default theme, Adwaita.

"This no matter which theme I set." ;)

The included themes are, according to the config screen: Default, Gtk+, Matte and Transparent.
All of them seem to show this problem.
However, I noticed that the output varies a little depending on which theme I select, mainly however it is all made of hundreds of theme parsing errors.
Mind that selecting themes is actually working, in the sense that it does change the look of plank.
Theme selection is remembered across different runs.

"Default, Gtk+, Matte and Transparent."

Those are not GTK3 themes, that's not what I'm talking about at all.

Ok, I did not realize you were talking of GTK themes and not of Plank themes. Using the default GTK3 theme fixes it (I get some warnings, but works OK and fast), however this means I cannot use the standard KDE Breeze theem for GTK3 apps. Any workaround?
