The person making the last comment didn't state what version of gtk+
he was using; it appear Alex's patch is too recent to be in any
tarball release of gtk+, so he may well have been using an version
that was too old.  Of course, this does bring up the issue that
although this bug may have been fixed on gtk-2-8 branch, we don't have
a release that includes it.  Should we wait off until there is one? 
CCing Matthias for his comments too...
