Yes, you are right, the backend is indeed the right place for this to
be fixed, since the frontend would have to be overly conserative
otherwise (it doesn't know which options might cause options to be
reloaded). I updated the documentation and the mustek, hp, and qcam
backends accordingly (for consistency's sake; those backends were not
actually affected by the apparent change in GTK callback behavior).

Thanks for tracking this down!
