It is still not clear which of (i), (ii), or (iii) this problem is, but
we've added coverage of [org.gnome.gdk] Window's ensureNative() which
gives you access to the function which tells GDK to fall back to the old
pre 2.18 behaviour. So you can workaround the problem programatically
with

        widget.show();
        underlying = widget.getWindow();
        underlying.ensureNative();

Again I emphasize that this problem is not solved; fixed would be not
need to call this (for whichever reason) but at least this is another
step in the right direction.

This will be in java-gnome 4.0.16.
