Lazarus on gentoo: libsmooth.so not found

Hello all from a new user here

I'm using the latest SVN version of Lazarus with FPC 2.0.2 and so far
everything seems to work fine
(except some well known common problems).

Just curious: what does this warning mean I see on my (gnome-)
terminal when I start Lazarus:
Code: [Select]Gtk-WARNING **: Ladbares Modul in Module-Pfad:
"libsmooth.so" kann nicht gefunden werden
For non german readers: loadable module in module-path: "libsmooth.so"
can't be found.
It's definitely in /usr/lib (sym-link):
lrwxrwxrwx  1 root root 43 25. Mär 18:10 /usr/lib/libsmooth.so ->
/usr/lib/gtk-2.0/2.4.0/engines/libsmooth.so

I googled for it but couldn't find even a single report. So am I
really the only one?
Or do you all just ignore it, since it's only a warning?

lazarus uses GTK1 by default, it looks like yours is pointing to GTK2.

This looks like something of your distro, afaik we don't use libsmooth

Lazarus compiled with GTK2 looks seriously broken, that's why I use
Lazarus compiled with GTK1.
That's really too bad, btw: truetype editor fonts look so much
better...
Fortunately, compiling some examples with GTK2 seems to work nicely.
Most parts of my distro are
build with GTK2 and so does gnome-terminal, but I never saw this
warning before.

EDIT
I'm not using gentoo ebuilds for Lazarus and FPC, btw...

Got it!
Was a gtk theme bug, got the hint here (on bottom of the thread):
http://www.lazarus.freepascal.org/index.php?name=PNphpBB2&file=viewtop
ic&t=1787
Switching to another gnome theme solved it (broken theme was
SmoothGnome btw).

EDIT
Actually, it has nothing to do with Lazarus (except it's a gtk1 app)
and even is no bug.
My son explained to me what's going on here, but that would be too
much OT for this forum...
