That bugzilla thread was a great late-night reading assignment. The Gtk+ guys sound like Hippocrates ( never do any harm) in their justification for not fixing a bug first identified in 2001. I like the commenter who convinced himself that it couldn't actually be a bug because it had been around for so long.
More to the point, did you notice the year-old Comment #90 from Scott Horowitz? His approach seemed to me to be a reasonable alternative if one doesn't want to patch Gtk+ itself or wait for the Gtk+ guys to get past their version of the Hippocratic oath (never do harm), but I don't know if it is a feasible approach in a Python-coded GUI.
