Thank you Michael for your feedback. I must recognize I just heard about
SolarMutex, Uno, etc. but even if I read during days the Uno
code/SolarMutex mechanism, I'll never have the patience to read the
related code (and above all I'm not smart enough to understand how it
works).
What I understand is there's a lot of work to do to be gtk4 compliant so
I suppose it's not too early at all to think about it considering the
changes it needs.
Hope gtk3 won't be deprecated too soon by Gnome :-)
