@Cristian It seems that you are still using Slackware's gtk+2. Try to shut down X and re-install them by following these steps again:

Add GNOME SlackBuild repository in /etc/slapt-get/slapt-getrc:
SOURCE=http://mirror.switch.ch/ftp/mirror/gsb/gsb-current/
Update the list of available packages and replace some system packages:
slapt-get –update slapt-get –install –reinstall alsa-lib bluez glib2 gtk+2 libwnck

Please look if during the installation, the packages are really those from gsb and now from slackware
