I confirm the behavior. We've also made a similar change locally to Gtk,
since some of our GtkAda users asked for it (in particular when looking
through network directories).

Here is the patch we've ended up with in case someone else is interested.
Would such a patch be integrated into the official Gtk+ ?
We'd perfer to avoid having to maintain a separate version of Gtk+ if
possible.
