I just had a look at the output of $ diff -ur gtk-0.11.0/ gtk-0.11.2/ and there many changes there (plus bumped dependencies on glib, pango, cairo). I have doubts that the release team will be happy about such a change during a freeze. If that is the case (you can ask d-release, of couse), we’d need to isolate the change to gtk (or is it maybe glib?) that fixed the problem and backport it to gtk-0.11.0, upload that to unstable and ask for a release exception. The changes to gtk-0.11.2//Graphics/UI/Gtk/General/hsgthread.c and to initGUI could be releated to threading issues. And first of all, the bug should be reported against at bugs.debian.org.
