Thank you very much for the help. Indeed, it was caused by the:
#gtk-primary-button-warps-slider=true, which needed to be disabled so that the
default could be picked.

In my case, I had to disable it in /root/ too because that's where I
personalized the settings to have a consistent look for system wide debconf
interface.

Given that disabling that knob stops those error messages, I'm assuming that
property was dropped in newer releases. But the personalized settings got left
over.

Should we close this bug report ? I don't know if this will need a full
resolution. The reason being, this gtk configuration was created in the past by
some kde-gtk-config tool, which may have caused the sole problem.


rrs at learner:~$ cat ~/.gtkrc-2.0
# File created by KDE Gtk Config
# Configs for GTK2 programs 

include "/usr/share/themes/Adwaita/gtk-2.0/gtkrc"
style "user-font" 
{
	font_name="Cantarell "
}
widget_class "*" style "user-font"
gtk-font-name="Cantarell  9"
gtk-theme-name="Adwaita"
gtk-icon-theme-name="gnome"
gtk-fallback-icon-theme="gnome-human"
gtk-cursor-theme-name="Adwaita"
gtk-toolbar-style=GTK_TOOLBAR_BOTH_HORIZ
gtk-menu-images=0
gtk-button-images=0
#gtk-primary-button-warps-slider=true
