When running emacs, the oxygen-gtk theme does not load and outputs the following message. (emacs:2643): GLib-GObject-WARNING **: plugin 'oxygen-gtk' failed to register type 'OxygenStyle' Also reproducible with the git ebuild oxygen-gtk-9999. However, when oxygen-gtk is compiled and installed manually (from git), the theme does load with emacs. So it seems there is something strange about the way portage compiles it. Also, apart from emacs, all other gtk applications do work fine with the portage version of oxygen-gtk. A guess is that it has something to do with the LDFLAGS (or CFLAGS) used by Gentoo. (My CFLAGS are "-O2 -march=core2 -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer" no LDFLAGS.) Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. emerge oxygen-gtk emacs (and edit the appropriate gtkrcs). 2. Start emacs and the theme does not load.
Just built emacs-23.2-r2 + oxygen-gtk-1.0.2 with the same CFLAGS as you and there was no problem starting it at all. Looks like this bug has been fixed in the 1.0.2 release. Closing as FIXED.
Sorry for being late but I am afraid that oxygen-gtk-1.0.2 still does not work here. Although directly building from source works. Perhaps something specific with my configuration (USE flags etc) or something that may be sorted out after a emerge world, so I am okay with leaving this bug as resolved.
please reopen if you get more information in the future
