Seems rather serious to me. Currently there are at least three packages in the ubuntu repos (oxygen-gtk for gtk2 and gtk3 and qtcurve) that - once installed - may make many gtk applications stop working, in such a way that they silently hang. A troublesome aspect is thatI would like to report that

As usual (and indeed correctly by the ubuntu policy), the bug is being closed as "fix released" when there is in fact no fix for the stable distribution against which the bug was originally reported.
