This will cause SEGVs on amd64 and other 64-bit architectures, at least from time to time.

I don't seem to be able to reproduce this under pbuilder (both host and pbuilder base.tgz running intrepid, amd64).

Is this really a regression from hardy, or a serious bug? Are there crash reports in Launchpad, or any reproduction recipe? Right now it doesn't look SRU worthy.

OK, trivial and obvious fix (missing #include) to go along with another SRU.

This bug was fixed in the package gtk+2.0 - 2.15.3-0ubuntu1

---------------
gtk+2.0 (2.15.3-0ubuntu1) jaunty; urgency=low

  * New upstream version:
    - Keyboard shortcut handling has been changed, to help with a longstanding
    complaint about the way GTK+ handles multiple layouts. GTK+ now only uses
    keys from groups other than the current group if they are not present in
    the current group. Feedback on this change is appreciated. (lp: #23244)

    - the change is in the new version

gtk+2.0 (2.15.2-0ubuntu1) jaunty; urgency=low

  * New upstream version:
    GtkAction:
    - Make toolitems pick up icon names from actions
    - Draw proxies of radio actions properly
    - Make menu proxies of recent actions work
    - Avoid accidental activations when changing actions on proxies
    - Make derived button classes work as proxies
    Input methods:
    - Avoid an assertion due to early use of input methods
    GtkScale:
    - Avoid a segfault in the marker drawing code
    GtkImageMenuItem:
    - Add a property to override the show-menu-images setting
    Bugs fixed:

gtk+2.0 (2.15.1-0ubuntu1) jaunty; urgency=low

  * New upstream version:
    GtkFileChooser:
    - Remember the file chooser's size across invocations
    - Handle uris that are entered in the entry
    - Improve autocompletion, in particular for uris
    GtkEntry:
    - New property "im-module" for selecting input methods per-widget
    - New icon-related API got renamed for consistency
    - Added properties and setters for icon tooltips
    GtkTextView:
    - New property "im-module" for selecting input methods per-widget
    - New signal "paste-done" to allow better handling of async pasting
    GtkScale:
    - New api to add annotated marks: gtk_scale_add_mark.
    GtkAction:
    - Rework the way actions and proxies interact, to make the
      interaction less ad hoc, more extensible, and better suited
      for support in GUI builders like glade.
      To be used as a proxy, a widget must now implement the
      ` GtkActivatable interface, and GtkActivatable implementations
      are responsible for syncing their appearance with the action
      and for activating the action.
      All the widgets that are commonly used as proxies implement
      GtkActivatable now.
      This is a big change, a...

Unless we can get someone to test this, I'm going to remove this from intrepid-proposed again. This has sat in -proposed for almost 300 days already.
