Thanks. I'll check that.

Thanks for the testing. We need to check that this is a problem in
Maemo's version of GTK+. Could you try to create a C test case that
shows the same problem?

If that has the same problem then we can file a Maemo GTK+ bug. And we
can work around it if necessary in Maemo's gtkmm. You can also work
around it if necessary in your application by adding a buffer.

We should decide wher to file Maemo gtkmm bugs, I guess.
