For reasons of risk mitigation, I did not attempt to address this issue 
in 1.2.0.  My rationale was that if this is in fact a bug, it must be a 
pretty minor one to have escaped attention for so long.  Now that there 
is a stable release that addresses immediate concerns (GTK+ >= 2.8), 
I'll take a look at this.
