Starting opera-11.60 in Gnome 3.2 hangs. While the very same instance starts in Xfce 4.8 without errors. $ opera -debugxerror (opera:18003): GLib-GObject-WARNING **: cannot register existing type `GtkWidget' (opera:18003): GLib-GObject-WARNING **: cannot add class private field to invalid type '<invalid>' (opera:18003): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: g_type_add_interface_static: assertion `G_TYPE_IS_INSTANTIATABLE (instance_type)' failed (opera:18003): GLib-GObject-WARNING **: cannot register existing type `GtkBuildable' (opera:18003): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: g_type_interface_add_prerequisite: assertion `G_TYPE_IS_INTERFACE (interface_type)' failed (opera:18003): GLib-CRITICAL **: g_once_init_leave: assertion `initialization_value != 0' failed (opera:18003): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: g_type_add_interface_static: assertion `G_TYPE_IS_INSTANTIATABLE (instance_type)' failed (opera:18003): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: g_type_register_static: assertion `parent_type > 0' failed (opera:18003): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: g_type_add_interface_static: assertion `G_TYPE_IS_INSTANTIATABLE (instance_type)' failed (opera:18003): GLib-CRITICAL **: g_once_init_leave: assertion `initialization_value != 0' failed (opera:18003): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: g_type_register_static: assertion `parent_type > 0' failed (opera:18003): GLib-CRITICAL **: g_once_init_leave: assertion `initialization_value != 0' failed (opera:18003): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: g_object_new: assertion `G_TYPE_IS_OBJECT (object_type)' failed Then I have to 'kill -9' the opera process; does not react on a mere kill.

See, I was using a GTK-2 Theme called "A New Hope" along with the same titled Compiz theme in Xfce4. And *there* all works well. And even opera starts. But when I'm on Gnome 3 I experience this behavior and there this special GTK Theme "A New Hope" is missing in the list of selectable themes. (Of courese, Compiz is disabled yet). That's why I thought I move the ~/.opera but that didn't show any relief.
Quoting the URL: "You can work around this for now by creating a /etc/operaprefs_default.ini file that contains: ----- [File Selector] Dialog Toolkit=4 ----- "This will disable Gtk styling support and hence avoid the issue. Once the bug is fixed by us or the Gtk team you can remove this workaround." Does that solve your issue?
Also this[1]: "Since the issue you have is completely unrelated please start a thread in the UNIX forums. This issue that this blog post is about is fixed both due to our work around and also it appears now in Gtk as well." So there's a workaround which I described above, and apparently it's fixed in some newer x11-libs/gtk+ version for which we don't know a version yet.

Ah, yes. That works. Sorry, I missed that post on the net. Opera 11.60 now starts up within Gnome 3 ... with a very old-school menu graphic though. But working. Thx!
Is this still valid with latest opera?
Ah, ok. Commented out each entry in the /etc/operaprefs_default.ini and ... opera 11.61.1250 is starting! Yes! Seems fixed. Thx.
great!
