This would mean that I need to patch gvim and almost all other X programs.
Just not the ones that don't use GTK. Seems very wrong way to go about it.
Especially as I did not build anything myself.
I would agree if this would be only gvim, but it is:
gvim
yad
gimp
xfce4-* (including terminal)
Virtualbox
geeqie
liferea
orage
filezilla
libreoffice
epdfview
easytag

And those are just the ones I have tested now. As far as I know it happens
to ALL the programs that use GTK.

I seriously doubt that rebuilding everything (or almost everything) is the
correct way. And if it is the correct way, why is it not done at Debian
and I get the upgrades?
I would suspect that the solution lies with GTK as that is the common
problem.

Can this be decreased again?
