Bug#574896: libgtk2.0-0: text entries send spurious notify::text with "" on destroy

[Yves-Alexis Perez]

Package: libgtk2.0-0
Version: 2.18.9-1
Severity: important

Hey,

recent GTK+ upload changed a behavior in text entries when destroying
which breaks some software, especially xfce4-terminal.

I've opened various bugs on Xfce and GNOME bugzillas:

http://bugzilla.xfce.org/show_bug.cgi?id=6331
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=613489

and it seems that in the end it's related to a change in GTK+ which has
a patch at https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=613489 (it has
been applied to master).

It'd be nice if you could include the patch in debian since it really
makes xfce4-terminal unusable everytime one goes to the preferences
window.

(I'm not sure it deserves an RC bug but it still “break other software”,
though not completely unrelated :)

Cheers, and thanks for your time,

Yves-Alexis
