Seems that the change is correct, however you would need to investigate 
if version 2.28.0 of libglib also has that function too and, in case it 
doesn't, change the value of GLIB_REQUIRED_VERSION in the file 
configure.ac as well, to the first version of GLib that included it.

Anyway, can you first thing open a bug in 
http://bugzilla.xamarin.com/enter_bug.cgi?product=Gtk%23 so this doesn't 
get forgotten? You can later announce your pull-request URL in the bug.

Thanks!
