Yes, please.

PROBLEMS should only describe issues with the version of Emacs with
which it comes.  So this entry should be removed, provided that we can
verify the fix in reasonably old versions of Gnome.  IOW, let's try to
make sure it is fixed not just in the bleeding-edge Gnome that you
just happen to have.

Thanks.
