Hopefully I will have some time to dig into this a bit in the next  
weeks, but I suppose the next step would be to ask on a gtk mailing  
list/forum/IRC to see if it's a known issue at all.  It's likely to be  
difficult to search for, as I can't think of any good search terms,  
although I have not yet tried very hard.

In terms of workaround, I hadn't thought about different themes, but if  
you found it also affected other themes, then that doesn't seem a  
likely pursuit.  Not seeing the problem in other applications using the  
same libraries suggests that it might be something in how Balsa does  
use those libraries, but that's not very specific or useful.  If we're  
luck, then browsing the code might suggest someplace to put some  
debugging output, although I'm not very hopeful, as I suspect whatever  
the cause, the problem doesn't actually manifest until somewhere deep  
withing gtk.  I suppose I could recompile gtk itself with full  
debugging info available, run under a debugger, and try interrupting  
the program when I see the problem.  A lot of setup, but my best  
approach for now.
