Have you tried just copying the error message and plugging it into google? I got about 6 results when I tried.

thanks, no i didn't, i panicked.
at the moment, only lynx and konqueror will actually start, browserwise, so i haven't been on the internet much (mozilla, galeon, netscape and phoenix are all affected by this thing)
i am off to try google now, i hope it is easy to fix.

It would appear that this would be a problem with an xfce theme:

thank you very much void main, you have an uncanny knack for posting answers, and i have yet, i think, to see you ever post a question!

i had buggered up my xfce earlier on today and decided to use KDE instead, but it looks like my buggerring up of xfce had also buggered up my Gtk, and i had to run xfce_setup to restore the system to its previous state, which i am happy to report solved the problem, as i am now posting this using phoenix 0.3!    

thanks all for your help and input!

edit - void main's link contains both the problem and the solution! not bad, as i googled it and didn't see anything but people with the problem, and nobody soluting it! good work, void, i see you use search engines a lot!

You can just think of me as a user friendly google interface.
