Thank you Phillip for finding the mislinkeded to get gparted started.

I unlinked  /usr/lib/libgtkmm-2.4.so.1

xxx@xxx:$sudo unlink /usr/lib/libgtkmm-2.4.so.1

gparted starts now normally! (have no idea what I broke by unlinking the
library)

So the solution to this bug is to unlink libgtkmm-2.4.so.1  which is
incorrectly linked to libgtkmm-3.0 by some unknown package.

Now comes the hunt for the package that is causing this mess across all
the distributions (this problem is not limited to gparted or Ubuntu as
shown by a google search of the error message).
