My problems are solved. Sorry to have bothered the community with my ramblings, it was all a library mess. For some reason I had freetype/fontconfig libs in /usr/local/lib that were outdated, but still linked to? With a little creative deleting/moving/recompiling/headbanging/cursing I managed to get my dependancies back in order (/usr/lib) and have a working gtk-2.0 subsystem again...
Hope this might be of any help to anyone anyway. Grtz.
