First, GTK+-1.1.12 has some drawing bugs that were fixed in
1.1.13. (1.1.13 also has some drawing bugs fixed in current GNOME CVS,
but less) So, if you have problems, please update to 1.1.13.

I don't think your problems have anything to do with with the
composite-child changes, which are basically informational for UI
builders.

Changes-1.2.txt is not meant to be a substitution for
documentation. (We hope to have that too..) but rather a porting guide
for existing code. So it generally doesn't cover additions in 1.2 that
are don't affect existing code.

I'm not sure what your problem is exactly, if you find out
and it belongs in Changes-1.2.txt, an appropriate addition
to that file would be much appreciated. :-)
