What's your ~/.gtkrc.mine look like? Are you using any DE, or loading their settings-managers?

I dont have gtkrc.mine, but i do have gtkrc-2.0 which looks like this.
gtk-menu-popup-delay = 0
gtk-icon-theme-name="Tango"

You haven't said which WM/DE you're using. Openbox, for instance, overwrites .gtkrc-2.0 when you run it. Try copying that file to .gtkrc.mine and retry.
Also be sure there's a directory "/usr/share/icons/Tango" or "~/.icons/Tango"

Uh? Why should it do that? Openbox has nothing to do with Gtk+.
ravigosh, I think I've seen this error before. IIRC it was related to nitrogen not being able to find the icons that ship with it. Try running nitrogen with strace to see if that is the case.
*Edit*: This may be the problem you're experiencing.

Not sure how recent you're talking about, has not worked ever for me on arch..

it was just 3-4 days back.

It's an erratic bug. I had it myself a few weeks back, I go to debug it, and it's working a treat now. I'm in the middle of exams, and don't have time to fix it.... but i'll get to it after.
It seems to have something to do with either wm, or having a settings daemon run. Currently it works, running plain openbox, icon theme is stolen from fedora (though it errored on this theme too).
Requiring/not requiring hicolor-theme is incorrect. I tried with and without, and it was bust both ways.

Anyone still have this problem, I still can't reproduce it.
If there's any different problems with nitrogen currently, could you post separate bug reports for me?

Had this problem, fixed it by adding an icon theme in the .gtkrc (or gtkrc-mine) file (and the corresponding one in .icons).
Offline
i was having troubles with nitrogen too, and i *think* what fixed it was installing librsvg -- i was getting errors saying something about Gdk::Pixbuf...
i think it's also required, as xd-0 mentions, to set the 'gtk-icon-theme-name' in yer gtkrc file.
I've seen young people waste their time reading books about sensitive vampires. It's kinda sad. But you say it's not the end of the world... Well, maybe it is!

my .gtkrc is
gtk-menu-popup-delay = 0
gtk-icon-theme-name="Tango"
but in .icons folder there is only MacOS-X.
So I changed the value of gtkrc from tango to macos-x, but still the same error.

I installed nitrogen-git but it just prints a 'Segmentation Fault' in my terminal
The same with nitrogen.:/

I just reported this on their irc channel (#l3ib on Freenode), and they fixed it at once. Try pulling the git version now, it works for me

I still have tihs problem, but what is strange is that I had fixed it at one point by installing an icon set and it came back after a kernel update.
I will give the git version a try.
