Bug#622184: Applications crash on Drag and Drop

Package: libgtk2.0-0
Version: 2.24.3-1

I recently upgraded to wheezy, by pointing apt at 'wheezy' instead of
'squeeze'. Eversince then, I have been observing that whenever I do a 'drag
and drop' operation, the application crashes.
I noticed this behaviour in several applications, including:

* PCManFM
* chromium-browser
* File Roller


I ran chromium-browser from the terminal and saw this error:
      "symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/libgdk-x11-2.0.so.0: undefined symbol:
g_slist_free_full"

I also noticed that several Python-GTK based applications also crash with
the same error. For example, launching the music player Exaile from the
console throws up the following error log:

  File "/usr/lib/exaile/exaile.py", line 62, in <module>
    main()
  File "/usr/lib/exaile/exaile.py", line 59, in main
    exaile = main.Exaile()
  File "/usr/lib/exaile/xl/main.py", line 84, in __init__
    self.mainloop_init()
  File "/usr/lib/exaile/xl/main.py", line 501, in mainloop_init
    import gtk
  File "/usr/lib/pymodules/python2.6/gtk-2.0/gtk/__init__.py", line 40, in
<module>
    from gtk import _gtk
ImportError: /usr/lib/libgdk-x11-2.0.so.0: undefined symbol:
g_slist_free_full


I am running Debian wheezy on an i386 box.
