 Ok, I think that when in doubt, you should file separate issues
 providing the most details as possible to reproduce the issue.

 Yes.  Sometimes, it's Gtk fault, and we have to collect a lot of bugs,
 reassign them to Gtk, and close them, or they get closed later, when
 the package maintainer pings the bug, but in this case it was the
 contrary: numerous bugs in applications which were uncovered by a
 legitimate Gtk change.

   Cheers,
