For Gnome patches can generally be considered to be submitted when
they are attached to a bug in bugzilla. The patches getting in
requires one of the gtk+ maintainers to have a look at it. This often
requires some prodding (maintainers nearly always have too much to
do). Typical way to escalate is to bring the issue up on the mailing
list, mentioning that the bug has patches solving the problem or parts
of it. Having a personal contact or two always helps. Michael Natterer
(mitch) in the GIMP project is a gtk+ dev that I know care about this
issue, but I'm not sure if he does Windows at all. But if not he would
likely know who to poke, so consider talking to him if no-one looks at
the patches.

For trivial and obvious fixes I can commit it if no-one else responds
(I have commit rights, but I'm not a gtk+ dev).
