On my lab systems, the automatic updates were failing because of the problems with ipod libraries from EPEL being in the way. It turns out that was a good thing, because when I "fixed" it, a massive set of packages was updated, including the new gtk3.
These packages are the ones causing problems, I think.
gtk3-3.22.10-4.el7.x86_64 gtk3-devel-3.22.10-4.el7.x86_64
In the release notes, there is mention of the "giant icon" problem and how to fix that. We understand that part.
The bad problem I see now is that Emacs and Chromium-browser, which rely on gtk3 don't work properly anymore. In Emacs, the symptom is that the ribbon of buttons under the pull down menu will no longer show. In Chromium, the buttons and other widget things on the top are an ugly yellow distortion.
I've recompiled the Emacs that comes with EL7, as well as 24.5, and the Emacs behaves the same way, no buttons show. The buttons are invisible, but still there. If you click in there, you can get lucky.
Do you see it too in Emacs?
I checked with a Red Hat Enterprise Linux system and the problem occurs in that also. I have opened https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1495264 with your data included since you did all the work.
