Gtk+ 3.3.7+ bugfix will BREAK Xorg (before 1.12) unless patch is applied

Company found a bug in the XI2 handling of GTK+. The gtk+ bugfix exposes
a very visible bug in Xorg. The Xorg bug will be in Xorg 1.12.

If you're responsible for a distribution, please either run 1.12, or
ensure the fixes from freedesktop bug 44079 are applied to your Xorg
*asap*.

Reference:
 - https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=657578
 - https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=44079 (not loading atm)

In short:
 - in case gtk+ 3.3.x
 - ensure you have patch from https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=44079
 - otherwise bad things happen ("important focus events do not fire")
