Other apps affected by cairo bug, and can be fixed with LD_PRELOAD, as in #6: firefox, chromium-browser, thunderbird (Save as... and File selection dialogs); paprefs; gimp's PDF import filter.
To make gimp's PDF import work again, a bit more complex command and more library regression need: alias gimp='LD_PRELOAD="/home/test/Downloads/libcairo2_1.10.2-6.1ubuntu2_i386/usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libcairo.so.2 /home/test/Downloads/libpoppler-glib8_0.18.4-1ubuntu3.1_i386/usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libpoppler-glib.so.8 /home/test/Downloads/libpoppler19_0.18.4-1ubuntu3.1_i386/usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libpoppler.so.19 /home/test/Downloads/libtiff4_3.9.5-2ubuntu1.8_i386/usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libtiff.so.4" gimp' The required libraries are here http://packages.ubuntu.com/precise/libs/ .
