+1, but I recommend adding a FIXME string. Since this is a longstanding a difficult-to-fix deadlock that will affect other applications in the future, it would be nice if fixing it properly could be a priority for the next cycle. Otherwise it's just going to come back to bite us again down the road. I'm aware that there are very few people with the GObject expertise needed to address this, though.
