There have been some problems recently with

In order to help with cleaning this up, I have written a little
script to check that a theme engine only exports the expected
functions. You can find it in GTK+ HEAD, called
gtk-engine-check-abi.sh.
As a good citizen, I started by making the pixbuf engine
pass this test...
Do you plan to apply this to the 2.8 branch too?
Ben and I have gone through all the engines in gtk-engines making sure
they pass the test. Expect a new release of gtk-engines very soon
(before GNOME 2.14).
However, I'm not entirely clear whether this will solve the problem with
the library trying to call a function within the application. Most
internal functions in gtk-engines (that aren't static) are now prefixed,
so this reduces the chances of the problem occurring. However, according
to bug 326249, engines should be loaded with RTLD_NOW to be sure this
doesn't happen.
