Description: The application crashes on initialization

This behavior begins after I updated the system, including this package.

* package version(s): 1.2.6-4 (on a fully updated system)

The terminal output (I removed the usual "Gtk-WARNING **: Theme parsing error" for the sake of clarity):

$ telegram-desktop
(...)

One more important info: I removed all orphan packages also on the update, including the libappindicator-gtk3. I just found this https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/56803 that is related but don't seem to be fixed.

So if you install libappindicator-gtk3 it works again?

Somehow the application tries to load both gtk2 and gtk3 at the same time, which causes this problem. Now I removed the gtk2 loading code in version 1.2.6-5, which should fix the problem, and libappindicator-gtk3 doesn't need to be installed.
