The lower-level libraries do link to system libraries; otherwise, we wouldn't be able to draw on the screen, get input from the user or the network, or interact with the file system.

I'm able to replicate the behavior: It seems that when you re-sort the list, it isn't able to select anything other than the first item on the sorted list.

This appears to be a Gtk+ bug, and it appears to be fixed in Gtk+-2.24 which I am testing now and plan to use in the next release.
