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.

Since nor Xfce nor Xfce 3 is present in Debian, I'm closing those bugs.

If you need it, feel free to reopen.
