That's exactly what I suspected. I will send upstream the new patch too
so that he has a chance to look at it.

Yes, I know, I am also working on a newer upstream version for
gtk+extra.

I am facing this issue and am not that familiar with library packaging.
That is my dead-end, I can't really continue, but just do some trial and

I might blog about this and see if anything comes up.

Thanks for everything!
