It would be useful to make Emacs detect this case and give a clean

The good news is that the bug has been marked as FIXED. But I don't
know in which Gtk+ version the fix will appear in. The only way to
detect this particular bug is by checking version numbers.
For the record, I see the following in
/usr/share/doc/libgtk2.0-common/changelog.gz:

This is included in GTK+ 2.16.2, but the recipe to crash Emacs from the
original report still works in
GNU Emacs 23.1.50.4 (x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version 2.16.5)
of 2009-08-04 on turtle .
Note that this recipe does not even involve multiple displays.
