And just to confirm, I'll take care of committing the security patch
shortly before releasing.

I'm planning on cutting the release straight from the release-2.x.y
branch, so this fix should be included.

For what it's worth I wasn't able to reproduce that on Ubuntu 12.10
(GTK 2.24.13) just now.  I wonder if that was a bug in GTK that got
fixed between 2.24.10 and 2.24.13?
