Bug 126351 – GtkXtBin uses deprecated gdk_threads_enter() and gdk_threads_leave()

• Status: RESOLVED
• Resolution: INVALID
• Component: WebKitGTK

[Brendan Long]

As far as I can tell, these two functions were deprecated because everyone uses them incorrectly, and the new correct way of doing this is to do everything in a main-loop callback.

See: https://developer.gnome.org/gdk3/unstable/gdk3-Threads.html#GDK-THREADS-ENTER:CAPS

GtkXtBin doesn't seem to have an upstream as far as I can tell, but Firefox also uses it, so if we fix this, we might want to share the result with them.
