OK, so this is not a regression in Emacs then. So it's not clear that this bug 
should block the emacs-25 release.

Ah, so the bug is not introduced by GTK+ 3.20 either.

We need someone versed in GTK+ (i.e., not me) to debug this sort of thing. If we 
can't find anybody, perhaps we should consider dropping GTK+ support in Emacs, 
or at least not making GTK+ the default.
