Update: got it fixed. Most likely. :) At least, GTK apps now run without
complaining.

I looked at the list that I got as a result, and ran "dlocate" over the
"root name" bits (everything up to the first '.'); other than the
obvious, most of the rest pointed to libglib2.0-0. I reinstalled it and
removed the newer versions - i.e., the current lib names mostly look
like "libpangoft2-1.0.so.0.801.1", while the newer (broken) ones look
like "libpangoft2-1.0.so.0.1001.0" - and life is good again. Whew.

I'm going to be doing more testing - i.e., by removing "libpangocairo",
which should not be getting pulled in by anything - but it seems all
right now.
