What version of rox are you using? A deb package by the look of that
path, but the one in Ubuntu is really old and nobody's responded to
<https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/rox/+bug/432614>. Feel like
compiling it from source? If not you could use 0install instead.

But the missing file is probably unconnected with the following error:

I've been getting that a lot too, when I add an applet to the panel.
It's quite likely a GTK error rather than Rox's fault (especially as
it's occurring in two different versions if I've guessed right about the
one you're using), but it's probably very rare for it to be triggered
except by Rox (which is quite rare compared to GTK I suppose).
