OK, now I'm really puzzled, I realized that my multiarch_wrapper was
overwritten, so I recompiled it and now I don't get the errors of
"invalid ELF header" etc... I have no clue how could this have happened,
there's no point in the installation that I can think it would've been
possible to mess up and overwrite the multiarch_wrapper. Anyhow, now I'm
not sure how to test if gtk+ is working completely. I don't see any
errors in any log, but gtk-query-immodules shows gtk+2.19.2 in its
output, while gdk-pixbuf-query-loaders shows gtk+2.16.0. This is
puzzling.
