/etc/xdg/xfce4/xinitrc has these lines that break gtk3 themes:

# Export GTK_PATH so that GTK+ can find the Xfce theme engine
GTK_PATH="$GTK_PATH:/usr/lib/gtk-2.0"
export GTK_PATH


This needs to be changed because new gtk3 applications can't find the gtk3 theme.[andyrtr@workstation64 tmp]$ brasero 

(brasero:21976): Gtk-WARNING **: GTK+ module /usr/lib/gtk-2.0/modules/libcanberra-gtk-module.so cannot be loaded.
GTK+ 2.x symbols detected. Using GTK+ 2.x and GTK+ 3 in the same process is not supported.
Gtk-Message: Failed to load module "canberra-gtk-module"

Isn't this gtk3 being stupid? We only add a known gtk path because we know useful stuff is in there.
Comment 2 Jens Petersen 2011-06-06 12:10:25 CEST
Setting GTK_PATH also breaks gtk2 32bit module loading on x86_86 for Fedora.
