I get this as well, and I'm still getting the error despite installing all of the relevant GTK packages (afaict). I'm going to keep looking into this and I'll report back if I can figure out a workaround in the meantime.

Should be fixed with latest release. I hope...

I am getting a similar error on my steam deck on the latest version:

(1)(deck@steamdeck Downloads)$ ./RemotePlayWhatever-0.2.3-x86_64.AppImage 
Gtk-Message: 10:04:39.865: Failed to load module "canberra-gtk-module"

And a slightly different error when I run with sudo:

(134)(deck@steamdeck Downloads)$ sudo ./RemotePlayWhatever-0.2.3-x86_64.AppImage 

(remoteplaywhatever:32948): Gtk-WARNING **: 10:07:37.219: Could not load a pixbuf from icon theme.

Has anyone been able to figure it out?

Maybe this was obvious, but apparently Steam has to be open for it to launch properly. Those error messages really took me down the wrong path.

It is now launching for me when Steam is open.
