Poorly worded error message, I'd say.  You have a function
chk_itheme_proc(int4), but the trigger as you show it requires a
function with a signature of chk_itheme_proc(text) or something close
to it.  Those are different functions.

The error message ought to print out the expected parameter types to
remind you about that...
