Public bug reported: In trusty, gtk+2.0 is currently on version 2.24.23-0ubuntu.
The commit specified here[1] fixes a bug where using libgtk+2.0 in an unidiomatic manner leads to a SIGABRT when starting the app. I know that unidiomatic behaviour is not supported per-se, but there are a whole bunch of "legacy" apps that are hard to update. Examples include IntelliJ IDEA, OpenXenManager, and numerous others. Is there a chance of getting libgtk+2 updated to a version that in includes [1], or getting that commit backported to trusty? The fix seems to have landed in upstream[2] and utopic[3], but not in trusty.
