Try creating a new user account and see if the problem occurs in there.
I seem to remember that some version of gtk or GNOME and/or other
libraries needed some declarations in some init file that might be
poisonous for later versions.  If you have some leftovers of that kind
responsible here, a fresh user account should not show these symptoms.

If this is indeed so, it at least narrows down the search somewhat.
