Well, I found another problem.
We have GTK+ 2.8.17 built on Win32 (Linux version works well).
Running gtk-demo shows following problem:
Buttons and toolitems that run dialog on click (for example, Pickers - 
color, font, file) becomes "inactive" if you are closing dialog and 
mouse pointer is not moved out/to button.
In this case hide() / show() calls do not help.

It is strange, but if you close color dialog with <Escape> then button 
remains active, and when you hit <Return> there is a chance button will 
be active first few times (1-3).
