Re: GTK+ crashing on application startup - WinXP

["Diego Jacobi" <jacobidiego gmail com>]

It is not related to your drivers.

If you have GIMP, Inkscape and Pidgin 2.5 installed, one may be
conflicting with the other, that will depend on how they are
installed, what version of gtk do you have on the PATH and what
version the pidgin needs.
I think that pidgin is trying to load old versions of gtk used by gimp
or inkscape.
The solution on windows is to not have gtk on the path and have a
different gtk version for each program.
