And still, even with LD_LIBRARY_PATH set to gcc 10, libgtkmm-3 again
loads itself libstdc++.so.6 from gcc 7 AND 10, as well as libgcc_s.so.1
from gcc 7 AND 10.

And the same problem for libgdkmm-3, and libpangomm-1.4. Probably because
software that is still compiled with gcc 7 depends on them.

This mixup should be cleared first.

All libraries loaded from mate-system-monitor that depend on gcc:
