    OK. Found one post that recommended to install the package "gtk2-engines-pixbuf". I installed that package and, because it was recommended and because Adobe Reader is a 32 bit program, I also installed "gtk2-engines-pixbuf:386" That did not help.

    Found another post that suggested that the warning was due to Adobe being a piece of garbage:

    To demonstrate:$ acroread

    Code:
    (acroread:25643): Gtk-WARNING **: Methu canfod peiriant thema yn module_path: "oxygen-gtk",
    and acroread runs fine. (Well, as fine as it ever does.) Sorry about the language. I forgot to tell it to use English. It means just what you're seeing, though. It does not cause acroread not to launch or work. The important error is the segmentation one. I doubt the gtk error has anything to do with it. Note that it is a Warning and that is not the same as an error.

    And yes, I know you say what application you are using in your post but I would suggest putting it in your subject line. You want people who know that application to read your thread as they are the ones most likely to be able to help.

    Of course, it is your thread and so up to you. But your current subject line says you are seeing a common and harmless error from some application or other. That's all.
    Perhaps it just doesn't matter and Reader is not going to run any better.

      Code:

      My GTK 2 apps (vim and firefox)xsa are producing lots of warnings like this in Saucy, but only if they've been built since the saucy release.

        John,

        This particular release of Adobe Reader has been around awhile. I first installed this version in early summer for my son's Eagle Scout papers and I think it was old then. Current Reader version for Linux is in the nines. Windows version is eleven or twelve - I really can't remember now. Anyway, the point is that this release was built long before Saucy came out.
