Hi all,

I am quite suddenly getting the following gtk warnings whenever I run any
Python program (e.g. matplotlib, pyqt5, etc.) that cause a GUI window to
appear:

GLib-GIO-Message: Using the 'memory' GSettings backend.  Your settings
will not be saved or shared with other applications.

(python:3369): Gtk-WARNING **: GModule
(/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/gtk-2.0/2.10.0/immodules/im-ibus.so)
initialization check failed: GLib version too old (micro mismatch)

(python:3369): Gtk-WARNING **: Loading IM context type 'ibus' failed


Normally, since they are warnings, I would not have been worried since
perhaps a recent update may have caused them to suddenly appear (they began
appearing yesterday, after my unsuccessful attempt to install pygtk).
However, this also seems to more generally be a serious issue, because for
instance, if I make a PyQt5 skeleton app, I get the following error if the
app uses the default window style, "gtk+":

(python:1949): Gtk-CRITICAL **: IA__gtk_widget_style_get: assertion
'GTK_IS_WIDGET (widget)' failedQWidget::setMinimumSize: (/Editor) The
largest allowed size is (16777215,16777215)

Actually, under certain conditions, this can cause my entire computer to
crash, which is really bad. Others, also on Ubuntu, have tested my code out
and do not have this problem.

In order to fix whatever issues I might have inadvertently caused, I
attempted the following:

1) reinstalling gtk2+ and gtk3+ (libglibc a dependency) along with all
their dependencies

2) reinstalling ubuntu-desktop and its dependencies

3) reinstalling ubuntu entirely (while still preserving my home directory,
so, non-destructive re-install)

However, I am still having the issue. Your help would be much appreciated!

Kind regards,
Brian
