[Bug 1094354] Re: gparted crashes on startup (complains of GTK2 and 3)

[Phillip Susi]

A valgrind and stacktrace or unnecessary here, the problem is clear from
the error message, the question is why.  For some reason gparted is
trying to link to both gtk2 and gtk3 for you, but the binary does not
import both of those libs.  There must be a lib on your system that
bringing in the gtk3.  Could you try running ldd on each of the libs
listed before and see which one is linking to gtk3?
