OK, in what desktop? I mean, it's still not ideal that this one happens
with only -gtk2 installed in gtk3-using desktops (or even worse, gtk2
installed for gtk2-using deskops, afaicr gtk3 also comes into effect then
in some circumstances.)

(yes, you could send them per mail to keep it confidential.)
