[SOLVED] Bug with GTK apps - Icons didn't render correctly

Hello.

I had been experiencing a strange behaviour of GTK apps at one of my arch systems lately - Icons didn't render correctly (screens attached).
It was not critical for work but frustrating enough. Especially in firefox (notice the half-rendered formulas).

It took me quite some time to figure out that this behaviour was caused by a line
"Xft.rgba:1 "
in my .Xdefaults config. After I commented it out the bug disappeared.

Qt apps were not affected by this.
Besides, on my second arch system it didn't cause any trouble.

So, I'm not sure whether it is a bug or not.
If it is, I'm not sure whether the problem is on my side, in package or upstream.
I've decided to post it just in case somebody experience something similar.

Libs versions are:
gtk2 2.24.22-1
gtk3 3.10.6-1
gtkmm 2.24.4-1
gtkmm3 3.10.0-1

The bug was also present in:
gtk2 2.24.20-1
gtk3 3.8.2-1
gtkmm 2.24.4-1
gtkmm3 3.8.1-1
