	You might want to try:

--gtk-debug options.  A list of debug options to turn on in addition to those specified in the GTK_DEBUG environment variable. This option is only available if GTK+ has been configured with --enable-debug=yes.

or 

GTK_DEBUG.   If GTK+ has been configured with --enable-debug=yes, this variable can be set to a list of debug options, which cause GTK+ to print out different types of debugging information.
misc 	
...
The special value all can be used to turn on all debug options.

You will probably have to rebuild your gtk+ (with --enable-debug=yes and
the other debugging features), but that should be really easy since all
the dependancies are already installed.

However, going the printf approach is probably the least amount of pain,
as it looks like this warning is caused by some sort of callback function
or update (hence the somewhat empty/useless stack).

Also, rebuilding gtk+ with debugging enabled (-g) might give you more useful
info in this limited stack trace.
