If run on something else than a monster like OpenOffice
(moreover evidently not installed from SuSE package so
possibly coming with its own set of problems), it should
print only the ld-linux line. Please try these things on
something simple and predictable, e.g. gtk-demo. But the
other libs are `expected' too in this case.

So all the icons/images are displayed normally?

Then you have to make it crash and print the backtrace, as
suggested.

Gtk+ is a library -- one that essentially all Gnome programs
use because it provides the user interface widget toolkit.
