Adding a bit of historical perspective: it might be more accurate to say
"the GTK people are unwilling to address the issue when it's caused by what
some people call 'unclean gtk use' inside emacs", with the concomitant hope
that they will more more receptive to a pure-gtk issue. AFAIK, the only
alternative to GTK fixing the problem is something semantically very close
to monkey-patching.
Hope that helps,
