un  gnome-themes   <none>         (no description available)
ii  gtk2-engines   1:2.12.2-1     theme engines for GTK+ 2.x
ii  libgtk2.0-0    2.12.1-1       The GTK+ graphical user interface library

I also have

ii  gtk2-engines-murrine             0.52-1

which is held back for some reason.

I notice in the strace I pasted some prodding of ~/.qt. I have

ii  gtk-qt-engine  1:0.8-1        theme engine using Qt for GTK+ 2.x
ii  gtk2-engines-g 1:0.7-4        transitional dummy package
(gtk2-engines-gtk-qt)

installed but I don't use them due to their bugs. I just tried removing
them to see if it would help and - it did! So, something about one of
those packages, combined with their configs presumably, has broken as
part of this transition.

This probably belongs to gtk-qt-engine then.

Thanks for your help and prompt response,


gtk-qt-engine guys: I can supply my ~/.qt, ~/.gtk_qt_rc etc. on request,
I need to give them a look-over for private data first though.
