#70598: PSA: GTk4 patch for use with non-compositing X11 servers

 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
