the last (relevant) comment on the bug.

For the emacs thing, I can reproduce this here, but emacs does some pretty
weird things in its Gtk+ integration that can conflict quite a lot with the new
client-side window stuff in the later Gtk+.

Running with GDK_NATIVE_WINDOWS=1 in gtk+ >= 2.17.9 fixes this issue, although
setting that in emacs may not be a good idea as it will propagate to apps
launched by emacs. Instead I would recommend adding some code to emacs that
calls gdk_x11_drawable_get_xid() on all "toplevel" Gtk+ widgets they put in the
buffer window. This will ensure these windows get their own X window and should
be totally backwards compat and safe on older versions of Gtk+.
