Window manager warning

dellthinker · 02-01-2009, 08:55 AM

Hi all, i keep getting this in my console.

Code:

 (metacity-dialog:9242): Gtk-WARNING **: Unable to locate theme engine in module_path: "murrine",

Window manager warning: Invalid WM_TRANSIENT_FOR window 0x2 specified for 0x4200011 (serverDial).
                                     Window manager warning: Invalid WM_TRANSIENT_FOR window 0x2 specified for 0x4200018 (passwordDi).

From the looks of it, i thought it had something to do with X window. So i googled part of the error and found out it was just that. But no solution to get it to stop flashing. Also this particular machine doesnt even have a X window. When i installed it i chose just the OS and no X on purpose. So how do i get a X window error to stop flashing when i have no X windows ? Thanx in advance!

uninstall metacity?

I would do just that if i could find a way to do it.

Code:

debian:~# apt-get remove metacity
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree... Done
Package metacity is not installed, so not removed
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.

Can anyone tell me which package to remove to ditch those errors?

dpkg -l | grep metacity

Metacity isnt on the machine so i cant uninstall it if its not there, meaning something else is causing those errors.

Code:

computer:~# dpkg -l | grep metacity
computer:~#

Any other suggestions?

Try installing the murrine engine.
