Great, thanks a lot! (I personally see no need/reason to drop gtk3 anytime
soon, given it's currently the most mature LibreOffice VCL plugin on Linux and
I'm not aware of any plans of upstream GTK ending support for GTK 3 anytime
soon either.)

Do you think qt6 could be an alternative to gtk4 in the long run for those that
want a non-CSD LibreOffice?
(I currently have no idea whether supporting both, CSD and non-CSD with gtk4
would be more or less trivial or require quite some extra work/maintenance.)
