Would I do the install via sudo > dpkg -i or use synaptic or apt in some manner? it would provide more details on the segfault and make it easier to understand, but let's start by going back to the previous gtk3 version and see if that helps. There has been no other report of such issue and trying in a fresh VM from focal gtk3 softwares work fine with the updated gtk, including gimp, pidgin and others. Unsure if Mint is adding some sort of custom hacks on top of what is in Ubuntu which would have an impact or if that could be something local. One other thing you could try is to create a new local user, log with it and see if the issue is still there, it would tell us if it's due to some user profile configuration or something wrong in the system -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gtk+2.0 in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1962807 Title: segfault in libgtk-x11-2.0.so.0 with several programs Status in gtk+2.0 package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: Today I have been encountering segfaults in fcl and virtualbox: Mar 2 07:20:40 Z560 kernel: [817210.808918] show_signal_msg: 12 callbacks suppressed Mar 2 07:20:40 Z560 kernel: [817210.808922] fcl[933482]: segfault at 7fb98814fdb8 ip 00007fb96efab218 sp 00007ffc4a89b918 error 4 in libgtk-x11-2.0.so.0.2400.32[7fb96ed5b000+270000] Mar 2 07:20:40 Z560 kernel: [817210.808932] Code: 79 db ff 48 83 c4 20 5b 5d 41 5c c3 66 0f 1f 44 00 00 48 8b b7 90 00 00 79 48 89 d7 e9 c1 a1 db 58 90 f3 0f 1e fa 48 83 d9 18 <48> 8b 05 99 4b 1a 19 48 89 44 24 08 48 8b 5d 24 08 48 85 c0 74 12 Mar 2 07:20:40 Z560 systemd[1]: Created slice system-systemd\x2dcoredump.slice.

As this library has not changed I am assuming the problem is with one of the libraries it depends upon. Several packages were updated in the past few days, I believe including some that may be the cause of the problem. I have attached a zip with my /var/log/apt/term.log and history.log for inspection. Version of library is 2.24.32-4ubuntu4 and library file is dated 2021-03-31 here.
