[darkroom] warning when displaying the credits of an About dialog

[Lionel Dricot]

1) Use the darkroom theme

2) Launch an application like GTG or labyrinth

3) Go to the "About" dialog then push "credits" button.

The following warning occurs :

Gtk-Message: (for origin information, set GTK_DEBUG): failed to retrieve property `GtkWidget::visited-link-color' of type `GdkColor' from rc file value "((GString*) 0x9ec1520)" of type `GString'

FYI: I can't reproduce this warning (with main and current trunk).

That look like an error with yout gtk theme. Try with the gnome default
theme.

Indeed, it's a darkroom theme issue. Thanks for pointing it to me :-)

Same here with Karmic 64bits.

human-theme 0.37
gtk2-engines-murrine 0.90.3-1ubuntu2

the following line (in /usr/share/themes/DarkRoom/gtk-2.0/gtkrc) seems to be the origin of the problem :

 GtkWidget ::visited-link-color = shade (0.2, @fg_color)

If I comment it out => no more warning.

If I replace it by :

 GtkWidget ::visited-link-color = @fg_color

or
 GtkWidget ::visited-link-color = darker(@fg_color)

... no more problem neither.

I'm not a theme expert but I don't see what's wrong with "shade (0.2, @fg_color)" ??

Any idea?
Should I rather file a bug against gtk2-engines-murrine?

Yes, as this works on all other platforms without a problem I would say that this is a bug in gtk2-engines-murrine (which I will add to this bug)
