x11/xpad became unusable after recent gtk+ update - all windows
('pads') are blank and cannot be edited etc. Errors spewed in the
terminal window:
(xpad:30315): GLib-GObject-WARNING **: IA__g_object_set_valist:
construct property "type" for object `XpadPad' can't be set after
construction
This little fix does the trick for me, and doesn't seem to have any
side effects. Since current version upstream is 4 or so (ours is
2.14), there's not much chance that they'll bother to fix it themselves.
