In trying to get any AMD driver installed for a Radeon HD7950 card as jockey-gtk is broken with the following errors-
(jockey-gtk:2733): Gtk-CRITICAL **: gtk_icon_set_render_icon_pixbuf: assertion `icon_set != NULL' failed

I've re-installed all things python and dbus to no effect. Obviously I've done many searches with no appropriate solution that I can find.
Originally I managed to get the 13.4 AMD Catalyst driver (version 29th May 2013) installed and working.
After I attempted to install the AMD experimental beta driver either manually through the terminal or via synaptic, I'm left with no GUI and have to purge fglrx to get one back.
Things don't seem to be helped by the lack of support for 12.04LTS as far as jockey-gtk is concerned. The caravan has moved on and Additional drivers are now handled differently in 12.10 and onwards.
Anyone with suggestions how I might recover jockey-gtk without yet another reinstall of 12.04LTS and be able to install the latest AMD video driver?
