** Description changed:

  Hello,
  
- I did a fresh install with a Trusty 14.04.3 (x86_64) custom version
- yesterday, and today, I updated the system (with the console, because
- other issues came first which led me to do a filesystem check). Then I
- started Synaptic, and oops! no GUI, only the borders of the window would
- show. Several other programs were affected and would not start (Geany,
- text editor), or show their content. After tests and research it
- appeared only GTK3 programs were affected. If using a theme with GTK2,
- or move the GTK configuration out of the way, the programs would work.

  libgdk-pixbuf2.0-common_2.30.7
