Is the problem specific to lablgtk2, or also happens with other gtk2
programs?
One potential cause is the absence of a Render extension in the X
server. I could avoid it by setting GDK_USE_XFT to 0 (i.e., disable
truetype fonts).
   env GDK_USE_XFT=0 lablgtk2
The use of this environment variable should be more advertised!

But there may be other issues...
