Well, I don't think it's likely you or me will be able to fix this one. 
It's lower level than Python
and it looks to be by design of the lower level libraries.

Note this mainly affects the XO1 which is already considered End Of 
Life. I think efforts are
much more productive in trying to make the GNU+Sugar user experience 
excellent on
Classmates and other netbooks.

BTW, we are not the only ones affected. The entire LXDE desktop 
environment has decided
to forego migrating to GTK3 and instead decided to port everything to QT.

Here's a quote from the initial release of the QT file manager PCManFM [1]:
/"I, however, need to admit that working with Qt/C++ is much more 
pleasant and productive than messing with C/GObject/GTK+.//
//Since GTK+ 3 breaks backward compatibility a lot and it becomes more 
memory hungry and slower, I don't see much advantage of GTK+ now. GTK+ 2 
is lighter, but it's no longer true for GTK+ 3. Ironically, fixing all 
of the broken compatibility is even harder than porting to Qt in some 
cases (PCManFM IMO is one of them).//
//So If someone is starting a whole new project and is thinking about 
what GUI toolkit to use, personally I might recommend Qt if you're not 
targeting Gnome 3.//"
