It *could* be a GTK+ bug, but my instinct says not.
How firmly I'm convinced of that depends on whether it's a gtk1 or
gtk2 based copy of Red Carpet ...
gtk1 - GTK+ doesn't know anything about Xinerama
gtk2 - GTK+ knows about Xinerama, but it doesn't affect normal
operation at all, and it's only a little bit of code.
Red Carpet is an awful example though because it's (last I knew)
it's statically linked against Ximian's own copies of the GTK+
libraries. If the problem was seen with an we ship, that would
much easier to try to do something with.
