  ^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Unless I'm completely mistaken, this is not a system shared library per
say (i.e. a ldd `which geda` will probably not display a dependancy on
this library).  It is a gtk module which implements the gtk+ thin
ice theme.

You need to use another environment variable to point geda at this
module/.so file.  I don't remember the name of this environment variable
(if it even exists for gtk+ 1.2). Where is this file on your system out
of curiosity?

	Did it work properly before you switched users?  

	If you don't want mess around with this, then you could try 
running make xinstall again and reinstalling gEDA suite again.  Crude, but
probably effective.
