[Tutor] Getting started with PyGTK [Receiving Error]

[Russell Smith]

Make sure you installed the theme engine 'pixmap' or whichever gtk package
that has the theme engine you are missing. Google search for the gtk

http://askubuntu.com/questions/66356/gdk-gtk-warnings-and-errors-from-the-command-lineand
you will see a very similar problem with a solution which I bet will
help you.

Cheers
