To track the bug, you can add yourself to the Cc: list on the bug report:

https://bugs.wireshark.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=553

To help fix it you'd probably have to follow one or more of the links to 
the GTK bugs which may be the cause of the problem and help the GTK 
folks fix it.  (In other words it's a bug in GTK and until they fix it 
Wireshark will have the problem.)
