I don't know if it's the same bug I came here to report, but it seems similar
enough.
I've been having kde-gtk-config crash on me since at least a couple of major
releases ago (i.e. 5.12 or so) whenever I click on "Gnome Application Style" in
the system settings. It also produces the following errors before it crashes:
couldn't include "widgets/default"
couldn't include "widgets/buttons"
couldn't include "widgets/menu"
couldn't include "widgets/entry"
couldn't include "widgets/notebook"
couldn't include "widgets/range"
couldn't include "widgets/scrollbar"
couldn't include "widgets/toolbar"
couldn't include "widgets/progressbar"
couldn't include "widgets/misc"
couldn't include "widgets/styles"
(These errors are specific to Breeze, other themes produce different but
similar errors, for reasons that will hopefully become apparent.)
At first I found a hacky solution was to delete the file ~/.gtkrc-2.0 that is
created/populated by kde-gtk-config, but this would of course reset my GTK
theme settings. But, since afterwards I could simply tweak my theme options,
save them and then never bother with kde-gtk-config again, it proved adequate.
Yesterday I looked into it a bit more, and I found that the culprit seems to be
that kde-gtk-config includes the following two lines in ~/.gtkrc-2.0:
include "/usr/share/themes/$SELECTED_THEME/gtk-2.0/gtkrc"
include "/etc/gtk-2.0/gtkrc"
I looked it up on the internet and found this, back from 2010:
https://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/slackware-14/latest-current-updates-gtkrc-2-0-doesn%27t-appear-to-work-844356/
In short, at some point in time, the "gtk-theme-name" property seems to have
stopped working properly, and in order to set a GTK theme one had to also
manually include its configuration files. Now, it seems that as of late this is
no longer the case, in fact having those includes produces a crash.
So I tested it and indeed, commenting out or deleting those two lines results
in kde-gtk-config no longer crashing and what's more, the GTK theme is applied
correctly - which seems to imply that "gtk-theme-name" works once again as it
should, making those problematic includes redundant.
So, to sum up, OP:
Does deleting the file ~/.gtkrc-2.0, or commenting out/deleting those two lines
in it, resolve your issue?
