The corresponding package are called libglib2.0.*. The runtime version of 
this lib is very likely already installed on your box. If you want to 
build geda from source you need the development versions of various 
packages too. In this case libglib2.0-dev

This is just the package of the theme engines which provide eye candy. 
Look for libgtk2.0* to check which version of gtk you have installed. 
Most likely it is 2.12 or 2.14. Again, you need the development packages 
if you want to build geda from source.

You are pretty fast with disinstall. Did you try to start gschem on the 
command line? Was there any message on the command line when it failed to 
start? How about pcb?

You may need to adjust your administrative skills to linux and get rid of 
the windows way of install/remove/reinstall/reboot routine.
