Yikes!  I would not be the person you're looking for.  In any case, this 
problem is not in the GTK interface per se.  I think what happened is 
that when the lesstif version implemented the left-right flip (vs. 
up-down as it worked previously) there was something that didn't 
propagate back into the GTK code. GTK never did the left-right flip.  
The GTK hid code now checks (incorrectly) to find the viewport 
boundaries and comes up with a result that says there is no grid to draw 
(since it would not be visible anyway).  I hacked in a way around the 
problem (since I like seeing the grid on the back).  Please see the bug 
report for a more concise description.
