When I try to run a python application which uses a pyplot-window, I get a warning in the command line:
Gtk-Message: Failed to load module "pantheon-filechooser-module"
How can I fix it, and what causes it?

Hi arc_lupus, the below answer only explains the reason for the error. But how did you overcome the issue?– learnerDec 19, 2015 at 4:28

Pantheon Files (the default file manager) contains a custom GTK+ module called pantheon-filechooser-module.
It's shipped on up-to-date systems, but it's not activated yet (currently, the default GTK+ file chooser dialog is still in use). That's most likely the reason it fails to load. Additionally, it might fail because it is a GTK+2 application.
On the other hand, it might be possible you removed Pantheon files. If that's the case, it might be the (other) reason the module fails to load, because it's not installed on your system.

After
pantheon-filesis running multiple times in htop, I assume that I did not uninstall it. How can I activate the module? Jul 8, 2015 at 21:26 -
You actually don't need to activate it, afaik it's still being tested - and the failed loading does not break your app. Is your app GTK+2 by any chance?– embikJul 8, 2015 at 21:39

Looking through some information on the internet, it is indeed GTK+2 - As the filechooser-module is a GTK+3 module, it fails upon loading. Nothing to worry about! :)– embikJul 9, 2015 at 9:46
You have two options:
1."You will always see this message with non-gtk3 apps. It's harmless and you can ignore it."
OR
2.sudo rm /etc/profile.d/pantheon-filechooser-module.sh
