Well, nobody else is seeing this problem. So:

 - First check if it occur in testgtk? If it does, 
   then there is probably something about your system
   that is triggering the bug. So, we'll have to 
   know something about your system. (See the "Reporting Bugs"
   section of the tutorial)

 - If it doesn't occur in testgtk, then you should  
   try to figure out what you are doing differently.

   If you can't find anything you are doing wrong, then
   create a short test program that exhibits the problem
   and post it here. Either somebody will be able
   to tell you how to fix your problem, or we'll be
   able to track down the bug in GTK+.
