Additional context The errors don't seem to cause any real issues, its more of an annoying popup on login/i3 config reload.
I've had a similar issue - the following seems to have resolved it. Seems like settings custom workspace in .config/regolith3/Xresources triggered something / is colliding?
sudo su -
mv /usr/share/regolith/common/config.d/40_workspace-config ~/
exit
regolith-look refresh
Note: this will dork your hot-keys which this config sets :-P
Seems like this is related to https://github.com/regolith-linux/regolith-desktop/issues/504
Your solution just removes the file from the configuration, and you then don't get to use any of the super+shift+<n> or similar commands.
To solve the issue of getting an error after following the docs to switch the super key from windows to alt you need to change line 94 of /usr/share/regolith/common/config.d/40_workspace-config:
set_from_resource $wm.carry_container_to_ws_key wm.carry_container_to_ws_key Mod1
to:
set_from_resource $wm.carry_container_to_ws_key wm.carry_container_to_ws_key Mod4
