... Note that I mentioned the patch was backported to 3.2 branch
recently... that doesn't mean that there has been a release since
then.

As I mentioned above, I don't know when GTK+ team will release a 3.2
with the fix that we need.

For now, you could take your GTK+ tarball which you downloaded,
and before compiling/installing the new GTK+, apply the patch
which is mentioned in the bug report I pointed to earlier:
    https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=660139

Cheers,
