That patch has a debugging printf in it - should that be checked in?

Are you using a binary built entirely on your sid system, or is that a 
binary built on a system using an earlier version of GTK+?

The clist_window structure member doesn't appear to be documented in 
the GTK+ API documentation, either for 1.2[.x] or 2.x; unless there's a 
documented macro that refers to it, that might mean the GTK+ developers 
consider it something applications shouldn't access, and therefore 
don't consider it a binary compatibility problem if they move it.
