Applied.

Applied.

This was also in a bug and I applied it a week or so ago.

This one is also in bug 45742. I liked your version of the patch better
where a separate symbol was added. However, I like it even more if we
always use the symbol and only use the conditional once when it's
constructed. I also added a version check for glib in configure to make
sure we have a new enough version.

Can you give the attached patch a shot and let me know if it works?
