I see your point.  When GTK 2.14 came out, I found that the gtk 
spin buttons in my app were broken on account of the "page_size" 
issue (which I had never really understood before).  So I fixed my 
app.  But the fix is just in the latest release, from a few days 
ago.  A distro such as Ubuntu, if it offers my app as a package, 
is likely to offer a somewhat older version.  And therefore it'll 
be broken, if linked against current GTK 2.14.

And I suspect there are many others apps in a similar position.
