+Subject: [PATCH 1/4] Revert "iconview: layout items immediately when setting
+ a GtkTreeModel"
+
+It makes GtkIconView segfault on GTK 2.24.
+
+gtk_icon_view_expose() calls gtk_icon_view_layout() first thing if
+there's a layout queued anyway, so we wouldn't end up in the same
+situation causing the crash the original patch is supposed to fix.
+
+This reverts commit 5a03f4a6a50237d86959f596dda143dfc2f040d1.
