Hi!

I use the propriatary nvidia driver on my laptop (because I need the
external vga capatibilities). My video card is gf4 420 Go 32M.

ii  nvidia-glx                       1.0.7174-3                 NVIDIA binary XFree86 4.x driver
ii  nvidia-kernel-2.6.14p7           1.0.7174-4+10.00.Custom    NVIDIA binary kernel module for Linux 2.6.14
ii  nvidia-kernel-common             20051028+1                 NVIDIA binary kernel module common files
ii  nvidia-kernel-source             1.0.7174-4                 NVIDIA binary kernel module source

The cairo:
ii  libcairo2                        1.0.2-3                    The Cairo 2D vector graphics library
ii  libcairo2-dev                    1.0.2-3                    Development files for the Cairo 2D graphics

The X.org version:
ii  xserver-xorg                     6.8.2.dfsg.1-8             the X.Org X server
ii  xserver-common                   6.8.2.dfsg.1-8             files and utilities common to all X servers

My kernel is a vanilla kernel version 2.6.14 myself packaged (and
builded).
I have additionally to this kernel the nvidia and ndiswrapper module
(and suspend2 module).

Hope this help something.

However it would be good to have an instruction how to self build a
complex package like gtk (since it is splitted into many packages), so I
can test the most recent version of gtk cvs, and test the most recent
version of branche 2.6 (where it was working), and find the oldest 2.8
version and compare it each-by-each. Maybe I find the diff what its
broken.

I assume it would be a good idea to up the severity of the bug? 
There aren't many of us affected, true, but for those that are affected
it's a very critical bug, it makes using anything GTK almost impossible.
