Would it be better for us to put a patch into our wxWindows tree for
this, rather than patching gtk? Do we really want to maintain a gtk
patch as well? Also, I've built pgAdmin3 on a fresh FC2 without having
to patch anything, which means that there are probably changes in the
wxWindows tree to fix this. Perhaps we can backport them?
