I try to install Office 2007. Installation stops, get next error:

 

(python:3461): Gtk-CRITICAL **: IA__gtk_widget_get_direction: assertion 'GTK_IS_WIDGET (widget)' failed
[POL_GPG_auth_script] Message: Checking signature of /home/jan/.PlayOnLinux//install

[POL_SetupWindow_Init] Message: Creating new window for pid 4001

(python:3461): Gtk-CRITICAL **: IA__gtk_widget_get_direction: assertion 'GTK_IS_WIDGET (widget)' failed

 

Who can help me ?

Full computer specs and full debug output, please. Although, looking at it, it is throwing Python errors, so you may be missing something from your python library. The full debug and computer specs should help to narrow it down, though. Poissbly conflict with the theme you are running on your desktop. 

I have an AMD64 Phenom(tm)9950 Quad-Core Processor, Linux Mint 17 (qiana), kernel Linux 3.13.0-24-generic, Mate 1.8.1

The last line is endless repeating

Can you try to change Mate's theme and see if that helps? I was google searching that error earlier and saw some posts related to that. 

I am also using the latest Linux Mint 14 and when running a Qt related applications (Ver 5) see the same error when using radio button or check boxes with style "GTK+" or "Macintosh".  It doesn't appear when using "Plastique" or other Qt skins.  I've also tried installing the latest 'gtk' updates using apt-get install. 

So this issue appears to be more widespread gtk error me thinks, not just 'playonlinux'.

Any recommended solutions out there?
