The problems is linked to applications using the gtkclist.h header file.
I don't know exactly what was changed in Gnome, but programs (like clawsmail and inkscape) that include this header file directly are now broken.
There are pointers to:

http://svn.gnome.org/viewvc/gtk+?view=revision&revision=20221

and subsequently to:

http://svn.gnome.org/viewvc/gtk+?view=revision&revision=20302

as linked to this issue.

So, the question for you is, are those applications to revert the direct usage of that header file, or is the change in GTK 2.13 which needs to be reverted?

For info, in gentoo (http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=225735) they came to the conclusion that is gtk that is broken.
