Just a follow-up here: you may try to quiet those warnings by unsetting the GTK_MODULES environment variable when launching Sigil. The easiest way might be to launch sigil from the terminal the following way:

Code:

GTK_MODULES="" sigil

I'm still not certain about the adwaita module warning (or why the adwaita theme changed for you after updating), but that may quiet things on the command line.

EDIT: also note that only when using the AppImage (with its bundled Python) will the plugin python interpreter process share Sigil's process environment. That means that when using an external python interpreter for plugins; env vars set via the env-vars.txt feature will not affect plugins. So Qt environment variables that Sigil is bound by will not affect a PySide6 plugin. For that, you would need to export the env var before launching Sigil. Much easier to just use the AppImage with its bundled python.
