Bug#589391: Bug has been fixed upstream, but the fix has not reached unstable

Hello,

I apologize for not informing you earlier. Actually, one or two
weeks ago I did some testing to find the root cause of this bug,
and I noticed that this bug occurred only when one uses lxappearance
to change the GTK theme.

lxappearance writes a .gtkrc-2.0 file which contains a line such
as the following:

gtk-font-name="Sans 10"

but it doesn't add a stanza regarding the font. This in the end
confuses libgnomekbd and causes it to segfault g-s-d.

I reported this bug to the GNOME bugzilla a few days ago, and I was
notified that this bug was already fixed and that the fix would be
in the next version.

Here's a link to my bug report:
	https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=631168

This bug report contains a fix for the bug:
	https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=618727

Can we please keep this bug open until it is fixed in unstable?
Again, I am really sorry for not disclosing this information earlier.

Thank you,

M. Vefa Bicakci
