This is not an Emacs error.  The Gtk+ themes are distributed with Ubunty, or installed by you.  Gtk+ parses the theme files on startup.  Apparently one of them is in error.   Emacs can not do anything about internal Gtk+ errors.

That is the pid of Emacs.

Closing as this is not an Emacs bug.  I suggest you report this to Ubunto, or if you installed the theme, to the theme owner.
