Running gedit forked from the terminal produces warning messages

Asked by Jason Monschke

If I start gedit from the terminal like so:

gedit test.txt &

I will get several identical warning messages such as:

(gedit:2495): Gtk-CRITICAL **: gtk_icon_set_render_icon_pixbuf: assertion `icon_set != NULL' failed

This does not interfere with the operation of gedit as far as I can tell. However, it is extremely annoying since it clutters the terminal.

I am running Xubuntu 13.04 64 bit and using gedit version 3.6.2-0ubuntu1.

gtk2-engines-pixbuf is already the newest version.

That's most likely a problem with the GTK theme. You should try to install gtk-theme-switch and set a new GTK theme with it.

Can you help with this problem?
