Another option is to use gtk3 but to put the GSETTINGS_BACKEND 
workaround into the emacs startup code:

   setenv ("GSETTINGS_BACKEND", "memory", 1);

I've been testing this, and it seems to work (but I won't be completely 
confident until I've had emacs running for a day or so).  Do you see any 
downside?
