I receive the following error for the majority of graphical applications I'm running on a laptop.
application: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/libgdk-x11-2.0.so.0: undefined symbol: g_source_set_nameThose applications include, but are not limited to, firefox, chromium, thunar and uzbl-brower. The one exception I have noticed is VLC. Clearly this is a product of the problem with the GTK library, but I still can't figure out how to solve the error. I found an Ubuntu thread that referenced the problem, but the solution did not help me. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Edit: Corrected typo as noted by fphillips.

That's "libgdk" not "libgdj".
Reinstall package gtk2. It should have that symbol:
[fp@viron ~]$ readelf -s /usr/lib/libgdk-x11-2.0.so.0|grep g_source_set_name
495: 00000000 0 FUNC GLOBAL DEFAULT UND g_source_set_name
[fp@viron ~]$ pacman -Qo /usr/lib/libgdk-x11-2.0.so.0
/usr/lib/libgdk-x11-2.0.so.0 is owned by gtk2 2.22.0-2Last edited by fphillips (2010-10-16 21:14:51)

Thank you for the comment fphillips. Reinstalling GTK2, which I tried earlier, doesn't seem to have any effect.
I had an error with Pacman, which I thought I fixed, but may be the real source of my aforementioned error.
When I (re)installed a package I was receiving the following error:
error: could not open file /var/lib/pacman/local/glibc-2.12.1-2/dependsI created a new file copied from another Arch Linux install, which removed the error, but may not have removed the problem.
Oddly readelf -s /usr/lib/libgdk-x11-2.0.so.0|grep g_source_set_name returns nothing on my functioning netbook, but returns the same output from your post on my broken laptop.
