We've been bitten by a number of Gtk bugs over the years. These particularly affect our Windows packages, where we have a limited set of prebuilt versions of Gtk to choose from, and often have to choose which bug we ship with.
These tables cover the versions of Gtk itself, since that's what we seem to have trouble with, rather than its dependencies like Glib. (Newer versions of Glib tend to drop compatibility with obsolete versions of Windows; this isn't covered here.)
(Darker colours are for observations we have made with Freeciv, lighter colours are unproven speculations about fixed versions / root causes.)
Please don't edit this table if you're not a Freeciv developer; if you have any further relevant observations please leave them in the relevant bugs in the bug tracker, or on the talk page here if they don't fit elsewhere.
