Gimp complains on missing GTK themes

Gimp will no longer run on my Opensuse 12.3 with KDE 4.10.3

It complains about the following themes

username@machine:~> gimp

(gimp:24142): Gtk-WARNING **: Could not find theme engine in module_path: «ubuntulooks».

(gimp:24142): Gtk-WARNING **: Could not find theme engine in module_path: «crux-engine».

(gimp:24142): Gtk-WARNING **: Could not find theme engine in module_path: «ubuntulooks».

(gimp:24142): Gtk-WARNING **: Could not find theme engine in module_path: «crux-engine».

So i tried to install grk2-crux-engine and gtk2-crux-theme. Ubuntulook was nowhere to be found. So I tried these Ubuntulooks Pack GNOME-Look.org.

It still complains about missing ubuntulooks. Aren’t there any opensuse themes for Gimp?

Gimp should work out-of-the-box with Opensuse…

Normally it does.
Also those are warnings, they shouldn’t prevent gimp from starting.

You could try to delete the files .gtkrc-2.0 and .gtkrc-2.0-kde4 and the directory .gimp-2.8 in your home directory.

Or maybe it helps if you run KDE’s Configure Desktop (systemsettings) and change the configuration in “Application Appearance”->GTK.

Deleting .gtkrc-2.0, .gtkrc-2.0-kde4 and .gimp-2.8 removed the warnings, but gimp does not start up. When I start from konsole there is no error messages.

Changing GTK themes in KDE systemsettings had no effect.

I cannot find any indications on why Gimp wont start up.

Hm. Maybe it is already running but the window is hidden somewhere?
Try to kill it first:

killall gimp
gimp

Make GIMP crash, then immediately do


tail -100 ~/.xsession-errors | more

And, since you’re removing config files / folders, try removing gtk-3.0 from ~/.config

It never occurred to me that gimp might be running in the background. Actually the first thing I should have checked.
Killed the old dead process gimp-2.8 and gimp started fine.
