There are my thoughts too.  I appreciate that Vlad researched a problem
that he was having and was worried that it applied to a wider group
although no one else had reported it in IRC or via a bug report for
SMGL.  I have been running the updated gtk now for days without seeing
any problems.  

I also agree that it shouldn't be moved to stable-rc until more is
understood or the upstream developers of gtk and xorg come up with a
solution.

My main concern is one person making large reverts without involvement
by others in the community.  This problem wasn't causing large breakage
and could have been handled more deliberately.  As was stated before
this is how test is to be used and not as a version of stable that has
more recently updated programs as Vlad seems to want.
