I think that this is an oversight. A slightly misleading one, too. 

Bugs sent in to Bugzilla mostly begin as Unconfirmed, and when 
someone else is able to reproduce it, they move from Unconfirmed 
to New or to Assigned. 

So it's referring to whether the bug itself is confirmed to exist
or not; and not to anything to do with any fixes. And since there
is lots of discussion and several patches, it probably should have
been updated. But hasn't been. Sorry :) 

(Since it is a gtk bug, I am reluctant to mess with the status 
field: I don't think I have ever touched a gtk bug in my life and
I don't know how the gtk gang do things.) 

There is a list of "What do all these fields mean, anyway?" at
http://bugzilla.gnome.org/bug_status.html

If you're not one of the people in that discussion and this bug
affects you, it is probably worth creating a bugzilla account and
adding yourself to the Cc list of that bug. Adding a comment about
"This affects me on (anything relevant about your platform)" can't
hurt either, and might get it out of unconfirmed-ness.
