1) Precise already has GTK 3.3, so you shouldn't have to fiddle around
with it.
2) This is not a unity bug.
3) Ubuntu uses a modified GTK, so even though both Ubuntu's GTK and
GNOME's GTK are binary compatible, issues like these seem to be internal
GTK problems caused due to GNOME's GTK not fitting well with the rest of
Ubuntu

Title:
GTK 3.2 breaks the desktop
Status in “gtk+3.0” package in Ubuntu:
New
Bug description:
Hey , I installed GTK 3.2.3 library in order to start developing stuff
with it , but out of nowhere (while I was trying to make gcc take
alternate include directories) nautilus gave these errors (when
started in terminal) :
GLib-GObject-WARNING **: specified class size for type
`NautilusApplication' is smaller than the parent type's
`GtkApplication' class size
GLib-CRITICAL **: g_once_init_leave: assertion `result != 0' failed
GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: g_object_new: assertion `G_TYPE_IS_OBJECT
(object_type)' failed
GLib-GIO-CRITICAL **: g_application_run: assertion `G_IS_APPLICATION
(application)' failed
GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: g_object_unref: assertion `G_IS_OBJECT
(object)' failed
>Then I saw that the desktop has no icons and doesn't respond to right click .
>Some of the integrated menus didn't show up , but now they're back.
>what else ... ah , the theme got changed to some old school theme , and when
changing ambiance/radiance there are still glitches here and there (where the
old style theme shows up)
>ubuntu-bug gives an error , that "sys.path" is supposed to have directories
(and it is apparently broken)
There's probably some more stuff , but that's what I've seen so far .
I hope that the description gives you a clue where the problem is ,
I'll be happy to give more info .
PS : I'm on precise , I've updated a few days ago (I'll update now and
tell if there's any change) , haven't had any major bugs prior to the
GTK install
PS2: update-manager gives the following output :
