I'm on Freya 0.3.1 64bit and get the message 

Gtk-Message: Failed to load module "pantheon-filechooser-module"

when running an electron shell app.

I tried to start it with

GTK_MODULES=pantheon-filechooser-module electron .

and tried to set

gsettings set org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.xsettings enabled-gtk-modules "['pantheon-filechooser-module']"

but neither worked.

Any chance to enable that module?

It is not possible to use the file chooser module with non-gtk3 apps. You will always see this warning message with those apps. When the module fails to load, you'll get the fallback gtk2 chooser.

  • so its expected behaviour? – Ferri Sutanto Nov 4 '15 at 12:44
  • @FerriSutanto that's correct – Daniel Foré Nov 5 '15 at 1:07
  • GTK_MODULES=pantheon-filechooser-module can be made to work in current eOS though. – dotbit Feb 22 at 9:02
