[SOLVED] GTK applications failing after latest update

Several GTK applications are failing after the latest updates.
So far, I have found Bleachbit and Gtkpacman are crashing, but there may be more.
They all give the  same error messages (obviously, the application name/line number in the first line varies):

  File "/usr/bin/bleachbit", line 41, in <module>
    import gtk
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/gtk-2.0/gtk/__init__.py", line 40, in <module>
    from gtk import _gtk
ImportError: /usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/gtk-2.0/gtk/_gtk.so: undefined symbol: gtk_combo_box_set_entry_text_column 

How do I fix this?

Many thanks in advance.

Give what you have. To someone, it may be better than you dare to think.

How do you manage to reply to my problems before I've finished typing, Wonder??

VERY many thanks once again.

pacman -Q pygtk gtk2 give different versions, as I haven't yet been able to fix my previous problem with Firefox 3.6 (machine in constant use), so I guess that's the problem.

Thank you SO much for your help, support and patience.
