But I do have a libgtk-3-0 higher than 3.16 (in fact I just 
upgraded from 3.20.6-1 to 3.22.21-1). So I should be getting into 
the "if GTK_CHECK_VERSION (3, 16, 0)", right? Or does this depend 
on the version that I am using, because I also have 
libgtk2.0-0. Should I have only one of those two installed?

Could this a problem of openbox using libgtk2.0-0 even when 
libgtk-3-0 is installed? Because when I remove from gtkutil.c the 
lines of the patch:

-#if GTK_CHECK_VERSION (3, 16, 0) if (get_bg) /* 
-  gtk_style_context_get_background_color is deprecated in 
-  GTK+ 3.16.  New versions of GTK+ don't use the concept of a 
-  single background color any more, so we can't query for it.  */ 
-  return false; 

-#if GTK_CHECK_VERSION (3, 16, 0) /* We can't get here.  */ 
-      emacs_abort (); #else 

-#endif

Then the problem goes away.

Thanks!
