GTK-WARNING **: UNABLE TO LOCATE THEME ENGINE IN MODULE_PATH: “PIXMAP”


sudo apt-get install gtk2-engines-pixbuf
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
You want to do this.
If running kiba-dock from command line you may notice you’re getting a Gtk warning where it complains of its inability to locate the theme engine module_path pixmap – as seen below.
macewan@moc:~$ kiba-dock
