There wasn't a trace file attached to your message, at least as it

The fact that it changed to work comes as a surprise to me, and it may
well come as a surprise to others as well; I suspect nobody knowingly
made such a change.
Not knowing what the error was, I can't say why earlier versions didn't
work for you, and thus can't say whether this is a problem that would be
seen by anybody using an earlier version of GTK+ (or GLib; GLists aren't
implemented by code in GTK+, they're implemented by code in GLib) or if
it's the result of some peculiarity in your sintallation.
In any case, using recent versions of GTK+ and GLib is probably a good
idea for other reasons, e.g. it may mean that some bugs in earlier
versions of GTK+ and GLib may go away.
