I recently did this same update, I'm not using Etch BUT I had the same
problem.

I just updated to the (minimal) GTK+-2.10.14 instead of going right to
GTK+-2.14.4.  All worked just fine and I didn't have to do all the
other updates.

I did have to re-arrange /etc/ld.so.conf and put /usr/local/lib first
(then run `ldconfig`)  to get Mozilla Firefox 3.0.3 to see it though.

Good luck!
