confirmed on Kubuntu 13.10 and Peter's solution worked too. I use zsh as a login shell too

Despite the error, sounds seem to play. E.g. % canberra-gtk-play -f /usr/share/sounds/pop.wav Gtk-Message: Failed to load module "canberra-gtk-moduleanberra-gtk-module (and I hear the sound). strace shows the app really trying to load that garbled library name: after opening /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libnss_files.so.2 and /etc/passwd, the GTK apps all try to load libcanberra-gtk-moduleanberra-gtk- module.so from a bunch of locations starting with /home/skierpage/.gtk-2.0/2.10.0/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/modules/ , and eventually print this message. But it's some runtime thing; using `ldd` I can't find any reference to *nberra-gtk-module in these programs and libraries, and I'm not sure how to debug runtime library loading. I do have package libcanberra-gtk3-module Version: 0.28-0ubuntu11 installed (a dependency of libnotify4 ?) but that provides a slightly different GTK*3* library name /usr/lib/gtk-3.0/modules/libcanberra-gtk3-module.so Google finds two other people in the world with this exact error, http://blog.mcmoyer.com/gnome-3-and-crashing (using Fedora and Gnome 3) and http://irclogs.ubuntu.com/2011/04/28/%23ubuntu-ru.txt (a Russian I think on ubuntu 11.04).
