Thank you!
I have removed all files libg* (and pointers to them) in
/usr/local/lib directory. This, however, was not enough.
I had to reinstall the packages: libgtk2.0-bin (which
finally got set as it should, with no complaints) and,
in addition:
   libpango1.0-0
   libpango1.0-dev
   libpango1.0-common.
Only after that my applications are in working shape again,
most notably gimp.
