The same warnings, errors and tracebacks are also shown for the screenshot, quicknote, tags, pageindex and journal plugins.

zim had been working fine for me for years, so this appears to be related to a recent update to NixOS 23.11 (i.e. some commit in the last week or two, probably).

Steps To Reproduce

  1. start zim

Expected behavior

No errors, zim starts up fine.

Screenshots

See above.

I was able to fix this (or at least, work around it) by setting a default cursor theme. In my case, I simply added the following package to the list of user packages (i.e. users.users.<username>.packages):

         (pkgs.runCommandLocal "gtk-cursor-fix" {} ''
            dir=$out/share/icons
            mkdir -p $dir
            ln -s ${pkgs.gnome.adwaita-icon-theme}/share/icons/Adwaita $dir/default
         '')

The above code was a minor adaptation (to use a different theme) of the code in this comment: https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/207339#issuecomment-1762695954
