Q: Gdk Gtk warnings and errors from the command line

Tags: themes

In the newest version of Ubuntu (11.10) when I run from the command line Gtk complains loudly (over several lines) each time a window is opened. The problem is clearly with the theme - if I change the default from Ambiance to High-Contrast this goes away. Some examples:

Skip code block

travis@hydrogen:~$ emacs foo.txt

(emacs:1550): Gtk-WARNING **: Unable to locate theme engine in module_path: "pixmap",

(emacs:1550): Gtk-WARNING **: Unable to locate theme engine in module_path: "pixmap",

(emacs:1550): Gtk-WARNING **: Unable to locate theme engine in module_path: "pixmap",

(emacs:1550): Gtk-WARNING **: Unable to locate theme engine in module_path: "pixmap",

(emacs:1550): Gtk-WARNING **: Unable to locate theme engine in module_path: "pixmap",

(emacs:1550): Gtk-WARNING **: Unable to locate theme engine in module_path: "pixmap",

(emacs:1550): Gtk-WARNING **: Unable to locate theme engine in module_path: "pixmap",

(emacs:1550): Gtk-WARNING **: Unable to locate theme engine in module_path: "pixmap",

travis@hydrogen:~$ evince test.pdf

(evince:1566): GLib-GObject-WARNING **: g_object_set_valist: construct property "enable-gestures" for object `EvView' can't be set after construction

(evince:1566): Gdk-CRITICAL **: gdk_window_get_pointer: assertion `GDK_IS_WINDOW (window)' failed

(evince:1566): Gdk-CRITICAL **: gdk_window_get_pointer: assertion `GDK_IS_WINDOW (window)' failed

(evince:1566): Gdk-CRITICAL **: gdk_window_get_pointer: assertion `GDK_IS_WINDOW (window)' failed

I like the themes and I don't want to part with them. How can I fix the command line verbosity from Gtk? I can simply hack the command line to filter out these messages, but I really don't like that idea.
