ClockScreenlet.py crashed with GError in load_buttons(): Icon 'gtk-close' not present in theme

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

I get the same error message, but for the Sidebar Screenlet.

Did u manage to update ububtu from 10.10 beta that might of been the
problem, and I'm running 12.04 beta 2 and don't have any screenlet crashes

Fresh install of 12.04 (32-bit) - I have the same error message when I start up my computer and the Sysmonitor in the screenlets starts. I cannot use any more screenlets than one, because otherwise, I get the message for every.other.screenlet, which is kinda annoying, imho.

This bug seems to affect many people (and many circular duplicate bugreports) But has anyone found a solution?

For me, the bug's root cause is that the screenlet(s) are looking for "gtk-close.png" which wasn't installed in 12.04 by default. I added "gnome-icon-theme-full" from the repositories, which includes gtk-close.png, and the issue has not come back.

I has the Bug #967347, and whit the install of this package it works perfectly, not more crash, so I confirmed the solution in my case.
sudo apt-get install gnome-icon-theme-full

For FEDORA users, the appropriate package to install is following :
"gnome-icon-theme-legacy.noarch"
So a simple :
     su -c "yum install gnome-icon-theme-legacy.noarch" will do the job!

Cheers
