As a relative newbie, I only run "stable". My system is giving me enough headaches as it is. > The error looks like an API break between pygtk and whatever provides > AtkObject.

OK. I managed to get the problem fixed, basically by trying everything, though I don't really understand what I did. This was my recipe: emerge --sync emerge --update --deep --newuse xfce4-meta , which updated libglade-2.6.4 and pygtk-2.22.0-r1 successfully.
