Well, this is unstable, and we are at the start of a release cycle, and this means now is better than later to find this out, so i would go for removing it, and doing workaround fixes if people come up and complain. We have probably ~ 1 year to find this and fix it. Also, on a similar note, i will be retiring lablgtk 1 from active duty, as etch will loose gnome1/gtk1 support anyway, and probably rename lablgtk2 as lablgtk or something, not sure.
