Yes, you are rIght - glib2.0 was installed from a PPA (webupd8 explictily tells 
that), and I did that in order to have gvfs working on my Ubuntu 12.04 since it 
could only work with these most recent packages. I needed gvfs to be able to 
browse files on my Android device... 
I also have some questions :)
1. How come the incompatible update was installed on my system? Doesn't Ubuntu 
automatically do incompatibility detection?
2. Why is gdk-pixbuf incompatible, if it is not in the list of the packages 
that were updated and thus caused this issue?
3. I already tried (prior to submitting this bug) to downgrade the packages I 
installed but had no luck. The reason is that package dependencies force me to 
remove hundreds of packages in my system that depend on the packages I want to 
downgrade. Also, i tried to "Force version" on glib2.0 and again, i got a list 
of packages that must be removed from the system. So, the question: How can I 
safely downgrade a package without removing many packages I need?

It sounds like a support request, but I'm not sure I will be able to
find a good answer by just googling it - I already did that, and found
an article http://askubuntu.com/questions/414345/how-can-i-downgrade-
packages-without-removing-their-dependants that didn't quite help me...
