I am unable to duplicate this bug with the information you have provided. Do you happen to have a different version of GTK2 installed that you may have built yourself, perhaps years ago? Unfortunately, this can conflict badly and the system doesn't really alert you to this problem.
Please try running this: ldd conftest | grep -i gtk and paste the output as a comment here. ** Changed in: gtk+2.0 (Ubuntu) Status: New => Incomplete -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gtk+2.0 in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2073940 Title: Micro version mismatch between libgtk2.0-0 and libgtk2.0-dev (2.24.33-2ubuntu2) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gtk+2.0/+bug/2073940/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
