mozilla in the infoagents locker isn't linked against a gtk built from
source, so it wouldn't be convenient for us to apply this fix.

However, Athena 9.2 will include a mozilla built from source against a
gtk built from source.  So we'll include this fix in the next full
release.

I don't know if gtk 2 has a similar bug; we don't really have the
resources to proactively investigate, given how rare the use case is.
(I did look briefly during the initial exchange, and found that the
relevant code had been significantly reorganized.)  Expect that you
might see a regression when Mozilla starts using gtk 2 or when you try
other gtk-based programs which use gtk 2.
