 like apps are supposed to request access to protected areas via the
 appropriate macOS security APIs. That would result in the user being
 prompted for access. But that's not happening.

 Stepping away from this for the past day, it occurred to me: At least for
 GNOME-based apps, foundational libs - such as GTK or GLib2 - may be
 responsible for making such calls.

 So I'm going to take a closer look in the GNOME space, to see if those
 exist. And if so, verify that they aren't disabled by a configure
 argument, etc.
