The point is, that this isn't really a bug in gtk+3.0, i.e. something
which can be fixed in gtk+3.0 itself. By bumping this bug to RC, this
bug will show up for all users e.g. via apt-listbugs, even if they don't
use emacs (or one of the 3rd party themes). I don't think we really want
that.

Michael
