A bug has been already fixed regarding this issue by contributing a 
patch: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=722067
Patches are always very welcome as you can see. Even better if the 
patches are as much cross platform as possible and are not invasive in 
this particular case, since doing a change now and breaking it 
afterwards (especially given it's not something provided by glib) is not 
nice to users.
