Browse your /usr/lib directory, preferably using Konqueror, and put the 
cursor on libgtk.so.

Look at the status line at the bottom of the window - you should see 
something like 

libgtk.so->libgtk-1.2.so.0.9.1 Shared library (Link)

That's a link to the real libgtk, so copying it won't help.
Make sure the file it points to is a real file (about 1.3 megs)
Also, it won't hurt to run ldconfig -v (run this as root) which 
rebuilds all links. You should get a report on the screen verifying 
the links.

Beyond that, I don't know what the problem might be. Can you run any programs 
that use gtk?
