kde-gtk-config hangs; Is it Normal?

[Xplorer4x4]

I was refereed here by one of the KDE forum admins because the kde-gtk-config hangs when I try to access it. I am trying to utilize it to hopefully get a properly working firefox(although I have just about given up any hope of that since none of the known solutions work for me). Anyways, as a recap I figure it is best to link to the KDE Forum thread as to not leave out important details:

Can you start it from konsole, and post the output?

kcmshell4 kde-gtk-config

[Xplorer4x4]

xplorer4x4@xplorer4x4-MS-7673:~$ kcmshell4 kde-gtk-config
kcmshell(26644)/kcontrol KCModuleLoader::loadModule: This module still uses K_EXPORT_COMPONENT_FACTORY. Please port it to use KPluginFactory and K_EXPORT_PLUGIN.

The good news is it seems the GUI worked just fine from the CLI.

The bad news(maybe is after letting it run and playing with it a bit, I get this error:

(gtk_preview:29561): Gtk-WARNING **: Unable to locate theme engine in module_path: "clearlooks",

[sumski]

It's part of gtk2-engines package:
http://packages.ubuntu.com/precise/a...gines/filelist

[Xplorer4x4]

No wonder I couldnt find the package I needed(searching for clearlooks in the ubuntu package site). Are there any other packages I should install to ensure full compatibility? I ask because I tried previewing GTK3 theme oxygen-gtk and got this:
(gtk3_preview:11446): Gtk-CRITICAL **: gtk_css_section_get_file: assertion `section != NULL' failed

(gtk3_preview:11446): Gtk-CRITICAL **: gtk_css_section_get_end_position: assertion `section != NULL' failed

(gtk3_preview:11446): Gtk-CRITICAL **: gtk_css_section_get_end_line: assertion `section != NULL' failed

(gtk3_preview:11446): Gtk-WARNING **: Theme parsing error: <data>:1:0: Unknown value 'GTK_SHADOW_NONE' for enum type 'GtkShadowType'

[sumski]

Can you try with oxygen-gtk3-git from my PPA, i've just tested preview, and got no errors (from the last post)

[Xplorer4x4]

I tried to install but no package was found. I looked at your ppa and do nto see it either. gtk3-engines-oxygen-git and oxygen-transparent-git is the closest thing I could find.

[sumski]

Yeah, that's the name, sorry (oxygen-gtk3 is upstream name). It will remove version from your install, so you can go back to that easily

[Xplorer4x4]

I edited my post so wanted to confirm the package is gtk3-engines-oxygen-git ?

[sumski]

Yes

[Xplorer4x4]

Thought so. So I did that and that went away. Now soem themes say "QProcess::start: Process is already" which I am guessing is normal.

The only other output I got was from GTK 2 theme Blapple:
(gtk_preview:15587): Gtk-WARNING **: Unable to locate theme engine in module_path: "pixmap",

[sumski]

It's in gt2-engines-pixbuf:
http://packages.ubuntu.com/precise/a...ixbuf/filelist

[Xplorer4x4]

Good to go. Thanks for all the help sumski.

Hope you won't get hangs anymore, but i still wonder why are systemsettings hanging?
