For a while now, when I run applications from the terminal I now get this:

Gtk-Message: Failed to load module "canberra-gtk-module"

There is no canberra-gtk-module. And all the regular libcanberra packages WERE installed.

I put up with it as an annoyance as I did not see any solution online. until today (a hint at least).

This happens in Gnome 2 which I have installed onto my PCLOS LXDE 2012 install (I prefer gnome 2).

the hint was found at the linuxgator.org/gnome/forum under the same post title.

[Solved]

This happens in Gnome2 only, and maybe only on my system?
Installing libbonoboui2-devel makes the message go away. So I'm going with that for now.

The person was close. I noticed that libcanberra-devel was a dependancy and so I tried installing ONLY libcanberra-devel.

Voila -  Fixed!

So I am sharing the solution....
