Yes indeed. We have also seen this in GTK+3. In my opinion GTK is also
being too ambitious and their excitement in doing fancy (and unnecessary)
stuff goes beyond limits. The problem there is that they give priority to
bringing a lot of new stuff rather than to software stability.
Paradoxically, GTK+2 became more stable because they stopped developing it.
The GTK+3 API is full of deprecated stuff, and the jump from version 3.14
to 3.24 came with massive changes regarding OpenGL. We are currently
considering not using GTK+ 3.24 because of that, and reinstalling instead
the GTK+ 3.14 that was distributed in previous OS versions.
