Description Sigve Indregard 2004-05-04 11:20:32 UTC 
After upgrading Gtk to 2.4.0, from 2.2.0, gtk can't find the theme engine libs any more. This produces lots of these error messages:

(gcalctool:8873): Gtk-WARNING **: Unable to locate theme engine in module_path: "pixmap",

It does also mean that most themes don't work.

I fixed it by symlinking /usr/lib/gtk-2.0/2.2.0/engines to .../2.4.0/engines, e.g:

# cd /usr/lib/gtk-2.0/2.4.0; ln -s ../2.2.0/engines

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
Upgrade from gtk-2.2.0 to gtk-2.4.0 through emerging.

If you un-symlink them, does revdep-rebuild (app-portage/gentoolkit) want to remerge the theme engines?

read the postinst note of the gtk+ ebuild.
