As Unity is based on the GTK stack and Ubuntu uses a slightly modified version of it you can't just install another version.

Remove GTK+3.12 and any dependencies that are not from the Ubuntu repositories and install Ubuntu's version of GTK

  • Most of the dependencies were from ubuntu repositories, except the gtk+ which i downloaded and was trying to build from source
