So part of GTK 2.x isn't usable? Why won't they fix the bug? Surely
deprecated stuff should be supported until 3.x.

I suppose the only workaround for Erik is to install an earlier GTK to
build Glade 2.12 with and regenerate the interface.c file.

Glade 2.12.2 is about 2.5 years old so I think it's not too old for GTK
to drop support for it.

Nick
