Well, it appears that the breakage may have occurred between 1.2.3 and
1.2.4 (I did some experimentation with different versions).

It also appears that the attached patch, from a thread on "gtk-devel":

http://www.gnome.org/mailing-lists/archives/gtk-devel-list/1999-October/0051.shtml

may fix the problem - that patch may show up in a 1.2.7 release.

Give it a try.
