Subject: libgtk2.0-0: Added support for randr 1.5 in gtk2.0 v2.24.30 breaks Xfce4 screen config

Package: libgtk2.0-0
Severity: normal
Tags: patch

Dear Maintainer,

  after the latest update to the gtk2.0 version 2.24.30, Xfce4 "forgot" its
configuration about monitors. The cause of the problem is in the added support
for randr v1.5 in the latest gtk2.0. The function init_randr15 does not provide
monitor names (while init_randr13 does), which causes Xfce4 not to be able to
match its configuration with the connected monitors. There is an upstream patch
already:

https://git.gnome.org/browse/gtk+/patch/?id=1dda932109f10d7582a8da9fd22626da835e9124

which might be usefull to cherry pick for debian to prevent the Xfce4 misbehaviour.

Thanks,
Pavel
