If you're going to report this problem, I suggest you provide more info. In a terminal enter
    echo $GTK_MODULES
and copy and paste the result, then
   find /etc/X11 -iname '*canberr*' -ls
and copy and paste the result.

I uninstalled libcanberra-gtk-module so now I only have one of the files in /etc/X11/Xsession.d, and now I have a non-garbled GTK_MODULES environment variable containing
  canberra-gtk-module

For some reason Gnome programs are not looking for libcanberra-gtk-module.so in /usr/lib/gtk-3.0/modules , so when I run any Gnome app I now get the similar terminal output
  Gtk-Message: Failed to load module "canberra-gtk-module"
I just ignore the error message. If you think you need libcanberra's "implementation of the XDG Sound Theme and Name Specifications, for generating event sounds on free desktops" then see bug 872172 for possible fixes by installing various packages or fiddling with GTK_PATH.
