GTK is certainly involved, it appears.

 From ktrace, I know that it invokes open() on
the raw directory and reads it just before generating
the warning.  From inside GDB, I can breakpoint
open() and see this backtrace just before the
warning gets printed:

Breakpoint 2, 0x28ca9f5c in open () from /lib/libc.so.7
#0  0x28ca9f5c in open () from /lib/libc.so.7
#1  0x28a97cb2 in open () from /lib/libthr.so.3
#2  0x2836c227 in gtk_rc_get_im_module_path ()
    from /usr/local/lib/libgtk-x11-2.0.so.0
#3  0x2836c7a4 in gtk_rc_reparse_all_for_settings ()
    from /usr/local/lib/libgtk-x11-2.0.so.0
#4  0x28388b64 in gtk_settings_get_for_screen ()
    from /usr/local/lib/libgtk-x11-2.0.so.0
#5  0x28388cf5 in gtk_settings_get_default ()
    from /usr/local/lib/libgtk-x11-2.0.so.0

So gtk is reading the raw directory and trying
to interpret it as a settings file.
Still don't know where it's getting the screwed-up
settings file name from, but this is progress.
