Have you checked the stack dump/trace in journalctl? what does it say? I suspect your issue is due to installing things into /usr/local. Where has the gtweak python module (part of the gnome-tweak-tool package) been installed? And is it in the same location where python was installed? As a side note to the editors, I noticed that the gnome-tweak-tool page has /usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/gtweak in it's Installed Directories section. It should be /usr/lib/python3.6/site-packages/gtweak .
