How did I break gedit?

I was trying to remove unnecessary Gnome clutter, having made the permanent switch to Openbox and with the one other user of my computer on XFCE.  I thought I'd not removed anything I needed, and certainly didn't do anything to break any dependencies according to pacman, but starting gedit now gives the following:

(gedit:24960): GtkSourceView-WARNING **: no color named 'white'
TypeError: Cannot create a consistent method resolution
order (MRO) for bases ImplementorIface, Orientable, Buildable
**
ERROR:pygobject.c:922:pygobject_new_full: assertion failed: (tp != NULL)
Aborted

What might I have done to cause this?

i think colour in gtk is managed by pango, do you have that installed?

Yep - but as it turned out, it was fixed by reinstalling gnome-settings-daemon.
