You are not taking into account that people outside have
to work around GTK problems, or they do something in a way
"not supported because we have a perfect thing here".
This "works for me or I'll fix it" may work only for gtk 
developers, not for others.
This reminds me of GtkTextView::cursor-moved thing.
"What really needs to be done is to do it right", and as the effect,
*nothing*.

So far here were words of two ui builders authors: Johan who
writes gazpacho and makes GtkUIBuilder work well with Gazpacho
