Unable to find any keyboard themes. This means your GTK+ installation has been incompletely installed.
any ideas? [i can't get gnome-extras because there is one package missing]
and I don't believe that keyboards shortcuts are in extras

If you mean that gnome-speech is missing you can force pacman to install gnopernicus (gnome-speech is a dependency for gnopernicus) first and then try to install gnome-extra. Gnome extra consists of:
pacman -Sg gnome-extra
gnome-extra
bug-buddy epiphany gcalctool gconf-editor gdm gedit gnome-applets
gnome-audio gnome-games gnome-mag gnome-media gnome-system-monitor
gnome-terminal gnome-themes-extras gnome-utils gnopernicus gok gpdf
gst-ffmpeg gst-plugins gstreamer gucharmap libgtkhtml magicdev
nautilus-cd-burner nautilus-media rhythmbox sound-juicer yelp zenity
I'm not a gnome expert and I don't know if keyboard themes are included in this but you don't have to install the whole gnome-extra. You can install any of the above packages with pacman -S (remember to firt upgrade pacman database with pacman -Sy or pacman -Syu).

yes but it 's obvius <?!> that keyboard error doesn't have to do with gnome-extra

Ok. I searched with google and browsed some gnome docs etc. It seems that the problem is related with gtk/gnome and gtkrc config file. For some reason /opt/gnome/bin/gnome-keybinding-properties cannot find default config which is in /opt/gnome/share/themes/Default/gtk-2.0-key (alternative is in .../themes/Emacs/...). This is what should be available for chosing in the "text editing shortcuts" in the preferences. The config tool works without this (the list is just empty) but obviously something is not configured or this is a bug (not sure if this is arch linux or gtk/gnome bug). There is very little or almost none info on the web about this problem. The best I could find is: http://lists.debian.org/debian-gtk-gnom … 00397.html and http://www.mail-archive.com/pygtk@daa.c … 07702.html
EDIT: 2 hours later :-)
You can get rid of the error message by copying /opt/gnome/share/themes/Default and /opt/gnome/share/themes/Emacs to /usr/share/themes/...
I have checked that:
pacman -Qo /opt/gnome/share/themes/Default/gtk-2.0/gtkrc
/opt/gnome/share/themes/Default/gtk-2.0/gtkrc is owned by gtk2 2.4.0-1
So gtk2 places these files in /opt/gnome but looks for them in /usr.
And this is from gtk2's PKGBUILD file:
build() {
./configure --prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc --localstatedir=/var
--datadir=/opt/gnome/share --with-xinput=yes
This is strange and frankly now I don't know what to do with it :-) exept for manually moving these files to /usr/share. Perhaps someone could contiune this little "investigation" and solve or report it where necessary...
