I suggested to step through the code, in order to understand what
happens there.  Then we will have a better idea of whether it works
and when.  I understand that you don't intend to do that, but perhaps
someone else will.  (I myself don't have access to a system where I
can run a GTK build on GUI display, so I unfortunately cannot do this
myself.)
