Thats a seperate gtk2, as you can see its tagged +x11, which means it
uses the X11 Gdk driver.  We use gtk+quartz, which uses the Gdk quartz
driver for native mac stuff.  We also ship our own version with mono.

If you're curious the bug is:

http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=501588

It appears they've done some work-arounds, which I don think is
sufficient for our needs from when I last looked at the issue.  I'll
build up the tree locally and take a look as to the updated status
however.
