I think I have both:

i A libgtk-3-bin
i A libgtk-3-common
i A libgtk-3-dev
i A libgtk-sharp-beans-cil

You are right.
I had a few problems: three custom layouts. I removed two of them.
I think that the active layout moves to the left in the Score Layout 
window. Is it correct?

Now Export as PDF uses the custom layout.

As said before, it works also the Export if the custom layout becomes 
the default in Score Layout.  This is at least my understanding.

Yes, I confirm the point-and-click. It would be nice to remove it by 
default without having to tweak the lilypond source.

yes, correct
