Just to make it clear, the canberra lib actually has nothing to do with this, and even if you don't install that, it's just a warning that you can safely ignore.  It is annoying though :o).
Comment 4 Maurice Batey 2017-01-28 13:06:35 CET 
OK - but ignoring it doesn't seem to get kompozer to start!
Comment 5 Maurice Batey 2017-03-11 19:34:05 CET 
On my nVidia desktop with latest Mageia-6-sta2 fully updated, I still get the 'canberra' error, but then kompozer does start.

Same error message with the same Mageia-6-sta2 .iso on laptop, except that kompozer does NOT then start...
Comment 6 Maurice Batey 2017-07-04 17:30:20 CEST 
Just done fresh Plasma install of the 30/6  64-bit Mageia-6 on UEFI GPT 
HP Probook laptop.

 Kompozer  fails to start: 

  "Gtk-Message: Failed to load canberra-gtk-module"

Looking in Bug 15176 I saw that installing lib64canberra-gtk0 might fix 
it, but after installing that I now see:

     '(kompozer-bin:22345) Gtk-WARNING: **: Unable to locate theme 
engine in module-path: "adwaita" '

So Kompozer unusable here...

Is there really no fix?
Comment 7 William Kenney 2017-07-04 19:45:32 CEST 
I have seen this in the past but lately for me Kompozer has been working just fine in Plasma.
Comment 8 Maurice Batey 2017-07-04 20:07:56 CEST 
Mystery solved!

After deleting old ~/.kompozer.net directory, although  Kompozer  still 
flashes up:

  "Gtk-Message: Failed to load canberra-gtk-module"

it does then start...

So the remaining mystery is only: Why does it report:

"Gtk-Message: Failed to load canberra-gtk-module"  ?
Comment 9 Frédéric "LpSolit" Buclin 2017-07-04 20:16:19 CEST 
Marking as WFM as it works for you. The warning can be safely ignored, as David said in comment 3. Many applications throw this warning.

Resolution: (none) => WORKSFORME
