No, it is just a matter of code duplication, some things Emacs does
is done automatically in GTK.  For instance, widgets that handles text
input (GtkText, GtkEntry) handles XIM by themselves.  But Emacs could not
use these widgets for its framse, they are too limited.

It is just an optimization with no problems for Emacs as I see it.
