u1sdtool gives gtk warnings in headless mode

[Alex Chiang]

I've managed to run U1 in headless mode, after using the following script and exporting the variable properly:

https://pastebin.canonical.com/45659/

sync works, so that's great.

However, we're getting messages which suggest some sort of gtk initialization is occurring unnecessarily:

ubuntu@server-3424:~/Ubuntu One$ u1sdtool --waiting
/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/gtk-2.0/gtk/__init__.py:57: GtkWarning: could not open display
  warnings.warn(str(e), _gtk.Warning)

I agree that headless mode isn't considered a normal operation. However, even when using in a local xterm *with* a proper desktop session, I still get gtk warnings:

achiang@aspen:~/Ubuntu One/u1.bootstrap/dotfiles$ u1sdtool --waiting

Gtk-WARNING **: Unable to locate theme engine in module_path: "pixmap",

Gtk-WARNING **: Unable to locate theme engine in module_path: "pixmap",

Gtk-WARNING **: Unable to locate theme engine in module_path: "pixmap",

Gtk-WARNING **: Unable to locate theme engine in module_path: "pixmap",

Both the server and my local session are using Precise.

[Leo Arias (elopio)]

The GTK warnings are due to bug #762167.
Marking as a duplicate.

Thanks for your report.
