A couple of questions (pcmanfm, opera, GTK themes)

First, I'd just like to say wow at how awesome Fluxbox is.  I've had Arch installed on my OLD pc for quite a while, but I was running XFCE and it wasn't particularly quick.  I decided to start fresh tonight and instead of XFCE, I installed Fluxbox.  It is so much snappier; of course, as of now all I have installed is Opera and Pidgin, but still

Anyway, I do have a couple of questions.

1)  When I run opera from the command line, I get an error message.  It doesn't prevent execution and it doesn't cause problems, but it does imply that something isn't configured correctly and I'd like to fix it just because I hate when I haven't done everything right.  Any idea what this means?  I installed the JRE because it said something about AWT and I thought maybe Opera could optionally use Java but that didn't fix the problem.

ERROR: ld.so: object "libjvm.so" from LD_PRELOAD cannot be preloaded: ignored
ERROR: ld.so: objec t "libawt.so" from LD_PRELOAD cannot be preloaded: ignored

2)  When I run pcmanfm (the file manager I want to use), it says a GTK+ theme has not been properly set.  It says I don't have icons, which is obvious from the file manager   How do I set a GTK+ theme?  I looked in the wiki but I didn't see how.

3)  When I launch pcmanfm from the command line I get an error message.  The program still executes, but I still wanna know how to fix it for the same reason as number 1   I would copy and paste the error message but I can't seem to figure out how to copy from xterm   There are no menu buttons and ctrl-c doesn't work.... anyone care to enlighten me?

I'm sure I'll have a lot more questions, but for now these will do.  Thanks Archers

BTW, I think you'd better start pcmanfm or opera in gmrun or something like this, instead of a terminal emulator.

Re: A couple of questions (pcmanfm, opera, GTK themes)

the error messages from opera I think you can get rid of by installing java.
and why not run programs throug fbkeys?

Re: A couple of questions (pcmanfm, opera, GTK themes)

I'm still having some problems.  I uncompressed an icon theme, UltimateGnome, into my ~/.icons folder, and I added the line gtk-icon-theme-name="UltimateGnome" to my ~/.gtkrc-2.0 file.  pcmanfm doesn't complain that my icon theme isn't set, but the icons don't actually show up.  Also, when I launch from a terminal, I get this error message, could this be the problem?

(pcmanfm:5808): Gtk-WARNING **: Could not find the icon 'gnome-fs-directory'. The 'hicolor' theme
was not found either, perhaps you need to install it.
You can get a copy from:
        http://icon-theme.freedesktop.org/releases

(pcmanfm:5808): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: g_object_unref: assertion `G_IS_OBJECT (object)' failed

Thanks.

In X you can always copy to clipboard by simply selecting the text with your mouse, and middle click (or mouse1+mouse2 buttons on laptops) to paste. This is the way of copying and pasting I've had to adjust to, although I largely prefer windows style CTRL+C/V. These keys are used for other things in terminals(to break and to echo raw input iirc), which is why they don't work here.
