Just don't do this. Returning a pointer to a stack-allocated structure
is just screaming "SIGSEGV".

I can agree that updating applications to work with GTK+-3 will be a
major pain in the *** in some cases (yours being one example), but I
fail to see why would newly written applications need to suffer from
inconsistent API just to make old apps a bit happier (they will still
need to be updated).
