If you run:
sudo apt-get install gtk2-engines-pixbuf
Then retry, it is smooth. I suggest you add this as a dep so it gets automagically installed.

Tried that and got:

Should one change the update selections to accept untested stuff?

Failed to fumble finger it this time. Worked fine, thanks.

sudo apt-get install gtk2-engines-pixbuf solved that for me.
| Felix Zweig (f.zweig) wrote : | #10 |
That's right, installing gtk2-engines-pixbuf resolves the warning messages. That's why this bug aims for adding gtk2-engines-pixbuf as a dependency in the light-themes package.

In Ubuntu 11.10, aside from seeing the messages in the terminal periodically, I don't observe any other errors.
In particular, gnome-appearanc
Anyway, it may be hasty to say that the issue is a missing dependency on the gtk2 engine. Perhaps the issue is unpurged legacy content in light-themes. For example, I can grep "pixmap" in /usr/share/

Follow-up: /usr/share/
#include "apps/gedit.rc"
include "apps/gnome-
include "apps/ubuntuone.rc"
…and in fact these three files are the only ones containing configuration like: engine "pixmap" { …
Commenting out the lines for gnome-panel.rc and ubuntuone.rc causes the error messages to disappear. The appearance of the Ubuntu One control panel changes, but otherwise it continues to work properly under both the "Ubuntu" and "Ubuntu 2D" sessions.
I also note that I do not have gnome-panel installed on any system I've upgraded to 11.10 from 11.04.

Confirmed in 12.04 Precise Pangolin as well - I agree that perhaps the gtk2-engines-pixbuf package should be added to the dependencies for light-themes, as it obviously references it. Alternatively, the source of the errors should be fixed so that the package isn't needed.

Same here on Ubuntu 11.10, affecting a number of different programs.
Installing gtk2-engines-pixbuf solved it.

Thank you all for confirming this issue. However, the purpose of this
bug report is to include gtk2-engines-pixbuf in the dependencies and
it's already triaged. Thus, no further confirmation is necessary.

I'm not actually know if that is the old GTK way, but I do remember having a similar theme some 7 years ago...

after installed, there is no more warning.
Maybe it is OK now.
(I don't really know what the warning stand for)
| buchs (buchsk) wrote : | #26 |
Ubuntu 11.10: I just had the warning given, and I tried the fix here, but apt-get told me I had already installed the latest version. So, the problem persists for me.
| buchs (buchsk) wrote : | #27 |
I'd like to remove my last comment - but can't determine how. There was a reference to this bug report from another error message report elsewhere, but I now see it is not the same problem as reported here. So, forget what I say.

This is not fixed in 11.10. The fix was made to 12.04 only.
Additionally, it seems it was regressed after it was fixed:

The fix I made to debian/control was backed out.

Do you think that revert was a mistake, Scott? It's weird that the commit also removed your changelog lines.

David,
It was accidently regressed. I committed the fix to bzr in lp:ubuntu/precise/light-themes and pushed to that repo.
Then, Ken did an upload without looking, and regressed it.
Ken, Can you fix this with an upload to quantal?
| Ken VanDine (ken-vandine) wrote : | #36 |
Actually after looking closer, this was intentionally removed. version 1.9.1-0ubuntu1 removed the need for gtk2-engines-pixbuf to save CD space. So it actually should no longer be needed.
| Andrea Cimitan (cimi) wrote : | #37 |
I second Ken. It's no longer required for light-themes.
| Paul Natsuo Kishimoto (khaeru) wrote : | #38 |
That was essentially my conclusion in #12, 9 months ago…I guess I should have said so more clearly.

this is present also in oneiric.
.xsession-errors file is full of these warnings
