Is this directly related to Adobe Reader not functioning?  At work we've also discovered that Lotus Notes 8.5 has a "grey screen" which unfortunately the GDK_NATIVE_WINDOWS workaround does not help with (it doesn't make it to eclipse for whatever reason when executing the main notes bin with the workaround env set, which is the GUI with the problem) and the only workaround so far is to LD_PRELOAD 2.16 GTK libs.

Is a fix at the GTK level in the works, or is there a GTK bug at all?  I'm sure more of these things will be found, hopefully most of them easily fixed with the GDK_NATIVE_WINDOWS workaround.

No, it is not, and it is not Fedora specific, it is introduced by gtk 2.18. Official Adobe Flash are suffering from this bug, I don't know about gnash. I think of it as a third party issue, since current Adobe Flash Plugin have been released before gtk-2.18.

I was confused about where to file the bug, but since we can have a temporary fix in Fedora, i preferred filing the bug here.
