GTK2 problems after power cut

["Wedge_" <wedge__ fastmail fm>]

This is a slightly strange problem, but I hope someone can help.
Yesterday, for no apparent reason, all the lights in my house went off
for about half a second. When I checked my comp, it had reset itself. I
logged back in, and everything seemed fine, but none of the programs I
use which were compiled with gtk2 support will work anymore, and they all
fail with a similar error, which I have no idea how to fix. Running
gkrellm2 gives:

** (gkrellm2:4455): CRITICAL **: file pango-color.c: line 952
(pango_color_parse): assertion `spec != NULL' failed
-:2: Invalid color constant '(null)'
-:2: error: invalid string constant "#eee1b3", expected valid string
constant
Segmentation fault

while gvim 6.2 with gtk2 support gives:

** (gvim:4458): CRITICAL **: file pango-color.c: line 952
(pango_color_parse): assertion `spec != NULL' failed
-:2: Invalid color constant '(null)'
-:2: error: invalid string constant "#eee1b3", expected valid string
constant
Vim: Caught deadly signal SEGV
Vim: Finished.
Segmentation fault

The same version of gvim works fine if I don't use gtk2, and all other
non-gtk2 programs are still working fine. I've removed pango, atk, and
gtk+ and installed them again, I've tried a couple of different versions
of each, and I've recompiled the programs that don't work, but it doesn't
seem to be making any difference. Does anyone have any idea what's wrong?
