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 :-)
