Comment(by ioerror):

 I've written an EvilGrade module for this issue - so it provides a
 backdoored GTK bundle. Ironically, just as I was testing, I noticed I
 couldn't use the installer to download the GTK bundle or the debugging
 symbols. I'm not sure why the installer behavior changed but I'll get
 around to figuring it out in about a week. The EvilGrade plugin will work
 for all files that aren't protected by HTTPS (SSL/TLS) - so it can be used
 as a useful regression test when HTTPS is deployed.
