thanks a lot, jollie, for the detailed description. i tried as advised, the shell output was a bit different than in your example, i guess because i installed the 32 bit version and your example was probably for 64bit.

the problem though is that my GTK application lost most icons and there are tons of warning/critical messages (repeating every time i move the mouse):

Gtk-WARNING **: Error loading theme icon 'help-contents' for stock: Icon 'help-contents' not present in theme

Gtk-WARNING **: Error loading theme icon 'image-missing' for stock: Icon 'image-missing' not present in theme

GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: g_object_ref: assertion 'G_IS_OBJECT (object)' failed

Gdk-CRITICAL **: gdk_cairo_surface_create_from_pixbuf: assertion 'GDK_IS_PIXBUF (pixbuf)' failed

GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: g_object_unref: assertion 'G_IS_OBJECT (object)' failed



any idea how to fix this?

cheers,
