From a few days gtk2 apps lost configs and they run with default config parameters. I can see strange data in config files like
"download-dir": "/home/pushakk/^W^A",
in transmission config. Other apps like deadbeef lost size config so each time I run it appear on default size.

Transmission and DeaDBeeF are GTK3 applications (unless you installed a special version from the AUR).
I saw similar behaviour. I think the problem is you are using a GTK3 theme that is incompatible with the recent GTK 3.8 release (a few days ago).

No problems in my GTK2 apps here (Thunar, clawsmail, pavucontrol, firefox, et al). Are you sure they're gtk2 apps?
Like drcouzelis said, there was a gtk3 update recently which probably broke all your gtk3 themes and may cause unexpected behaviour. That shouldn't cause config file corruption though (AFAIK).

The window sizing issue is one I've definitely seen, but it only effects GTK3 apps: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=162076 the issue effects everyone and isn't gtk theme specific or anything, its a GTK regression. No idea about the config file issue.

I have the same problem with Transmission. Each time I boot my computer since Gnome 3.8 upgrade, Transmission load a default settings file in ~/.config/transmission/ which erase the previous one.

mm, I was completly wrong, sorry. Anyway, I use default adwaita theme. However, It only happend from some days ago and not from the first time gnome shell was upgraded to 3.8. I guess some package upgraded after the release is broken but I don't know wich.

That's OK. For your information, my "solution" was to install the GTK2 version of DeaDBeeF (AUR package "deadbeef-gtk2") and the Qt package for Transmission ("transmission-qt").

jajaja, a pleasure to have been useful in some way.
