I have downloaded and installed a new theme before in my fedora machine.

However, I got this warning when I load gvim, nautilus every time.

(gvim:4629): Gtk-WARNING **: Unable to locate theme engine in module_path: "murrine",
(gvim:4629): Gtk-WARNING **: Unable to locate theme engine in module_path: "equinox",

How can I download this theme engine?? and remove this warning?

Install gtk-engines package from your distro's repository. If there's not a gtk-engines package, search for a package with a similar name, you shall find one.

AFAIR, Fedora uses Yum to get packages, if so, try running "yum install gtk-engines" from your terminal. – MilanorTSW Sep 20 '11 at 14:40
Alternatively, try downloading an rpm package for your architecture from here: fr2.rpmfind.net/linux/rpm2html/search.php?query=gtk-engines and install it using "rpm -i <package-name>". – MilanorTSW Sep 20 '11 at 14:47

If it's unable to find the engine, it means you haven't installed them yet. Simply do someting like this:

sudo yum install gtk2-engines gtk-murrine-engine gtk-equinox-engine
