You're using this kernel, but what version of Debian do you use?

Did apt-get told you to do this?

Which likely should be

sudo gdk-pixbuf-query-loaders --update-cache

?

You did or didn't run

gdk-pixbuf-query-loaders > /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/gdk-pixbuf-2.0/2.10.0/loaders.cache

?

What is broken?

dmesg? /var/log/Xorg.0.log? ~/.xsession-errors? Or what ever log file
might be useful regarding to the "severely broken" things?

Assumed the "severely broken" things can't be fixed, why not restoring
from the last backup you made?
