[Bug 1273826] Re: Gnome applications wont launch

[harijay]

So When I switched to gnome and tried running apport-collect 1273826 .
It wouldnt run from my home directory. It only ran when I was in the
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu directory .

This gave me a clue that there was some system library that was not in
my LD_LIBRARY_PATH. Once I added /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu to the start
of LD_LIBRARY_PATH. Then gedit and apport-collect started working in
gnome.

When I booted into Fluxbox . With the new LD_LIBRARY_PATH , I started
getting all gtk applications working again. Currently the contents of my
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu directory are.

I may have got the libatk-bridge from a deb mentioned at this link (http://forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.php?f=208&t=152580) and added it to my system .
i.e from https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/saucy/+source/at-spi2-atk

I can provide the information from apport-collect if needed for more
diagnostics. But at least now with the LD_LIBRARY_PATH fix I can launch
gnome applications in Fluxbox.
