 Updating stable for something as large as Gtk isn't trivial, and only
 happens for really important fixes which are visibly correct.  Updating
 to a higher version is not an option for Debian, but updating the patch
 to match the actual fix implemented upstream is more feasible.

 However, how much confidence do you have that it won't break anything?
 Would it break older version of Eclipse working around the Gtk bug?

   Cheers,
