Seems rather serious to me. Currently there are at least three packages in the ubuntu repos (oxygen-gtk for gtk2 and gtk3 and qtcurve) that - once installed - may make many gtk applications stop working, in such a way that they silently hang.
A troublesome aspect is thatI would like to report that after upgrading to raring, some kde systems come out without the module that enables the configuration of the gtk themes in the kde systems settings (the deb is not installed). This means that working around the issue by inviting kde users to configure gtk not to use the oxygen or the qtcurve theme may be tricky. Here the workaround involves root permissions to force the uninstall of oxygen-gtk, qtcurve or the install of the kde system settings module, or alternatively inviting users to hand edit the gtkrc file. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gtk2-engines-oxygen in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1142213 Title: emacs23/24 and other GTK applications do not start when run in Kubuntu 13.04 with oxygen-gtk theme enabled Status in GNU Emacs: Fix Released Status in “emacs23” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in “emacs24” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in “gtk2-engines-oxygen” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in “oxygen-gtk3” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in “gtk2-engines-oxygen” package in Debian: Fix Released Bug description: If I try to run emacs23 in Kubuntu 13.04, (KDE 4.10.0) I am finding that the GUI starts only some of the time. If the GUI doesn't start then I will only see a process running in htop or similar. Starting emacs in a terminal window with the -nw argument or installing the Lucid interface shows that emacs does run each time it starts so the problem is either with the emacs GTK interface or the GTK libraries. Emacs24 exhibits the same problem.
