I don't use Jeremy's ibus PPA, only GNOME3 PPA. But after the yesterday's update I was unable to start neither GNOME nor Unity, all the apps would segfault leaving such messages in dmesg:

Since it complains something about libgdk, I thought maybe it has something to do with the gnome-themes-standard package. And once I downgraded this package to 3.6.0.2, I was able to load both GNOME and all apps would work fine.

I wonder if it has something to do with that relocation of gtk engine files in the package for Raring and backporting this to Quantal with these files moved to /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/gtk-3.0/3.0.0/theming-engines/ and /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/gtk-2.0/2.10.0/engines/. By the way, why does this updated package have a Gtk2 theme engine file and 3.6.0.2 doesn't?
