Thanks.

Could you open a bug against Gtk+ describing the problem and providing the patch as an attachment? There was a  mention on gtk-devel a few weeks ago about how only the toplevel GdkWindows were being realized as NSViews. I don't think that the person who did that change (and at this point I don't remember if it was Mattias or Kristian) recognized the problem.

They should be able to come up with a somewhat less hackish solution, too.
