I just came across this, and despite not (yet) having any GTk4 apps
installed myself thought it would be a useful *suggestion* :
The official GTk4 stance is that "it's time to let go of uncomposited X",
so anyone who runs an X server that doesn't do compositing will just have
to live with debilitating glitches like big black bars around (popup)
windows instead of drop shadows.
A proof of concept patch is here:

composite?action=show&controller=projects%2Fcompare&from=main&namespace_id=gldrk&project_id=gtk&to=x11
-no-composite&w=1
