IMO, we should think about our users first.  Besides, there's no
guarantee whatsoever that the bug will be fix if we don't work around
it.

I think this is a mistake.  We cause a disadvantage to our users now
because we believe the GTK developers will fix this later.  There's no
reason for that hope based on our past experience.  And if you believe
GTK developers pay such attention to what we do or don't do, why not
assume that they will read this discussion and say "okay, those Emacs
guys can solve this themselves if they want to"?
