Comment 7 for bug 1630375

Thanks Timothy for the idea.

I have worked with sleeps to work around this issues before but apparently all those were a bit too late and didn't help. So with your idea I moved it earlier into the process and it seems to work.

It is a pretty dirty hack but my hopes are low that the GTK-Team is gonna fix this issue any time soon. Therefore I have integrated it into Diodon core. The sleep only happens though if not on Unity and GNOME as on those two environment the error doesn't exist.

The fix can be tested with Daily PPA:

I am not sure yet whether I am gonna release this in the future. This is also going to depend on users feedback whether this workaround really works for them or not. Let me know.
