Builds fine here (amd64). I think the problem is not 
architecture-related. Tim already pointed it failed in the same way on 
sparc buildd.

Looking at the tests (though not sure I understand them entirely), 
I think there is a possibility for the two entries that are compared 
to a predefined array to be ordered differently, causing bogus test 
failures. Strangely, this occures only some times, possibly depending 
on machine load/timing.

Looking at the note about add_item() being asynchronous (line 52), 
I wonder if some of the other methods is asynchronous too.

Anyone with Gtk2-foo reading?
