Hi James,

You are of course correct in your remark. It is possible that the problem
lies with Gnome, not with GTK. Yet it is - or should be considered - a bug,
when Gnome, the most prevalent user of the GTK+ library, disregards a hint
set by one of the core built-in methods in that library.

So, this is either a bug in GTK+ (failing to set the designated hint) or in
Gnome (failing to respect a hint properly set by GTK+).

Thanks,

Tom
