Sorry for this misunderstanding -- the other reports I was talking of 
are those that were reported for the earlier version, I think it was 
2.12.1-2 when this faulty patch was added first. It was removed in 
2.12.1-4 -- and now re-added again. I can take ANY most simplistic pygtk 
application, like the following

import gtk

win = gtk.Window(gtk.WINDOW_TOPLEVEL)
win.set_title("GTK Simple Test")
win.connect("delete-event", gtk.main_quit)
win.realize()
win.show_all()

gtk.main()

and it does not show up the main Window. Going back to 2.12.1-4 -- 
everything works fine again.
