That's only the tip of the iceberg, but is completely unrelated to event
handling, where the relevant conditional is `HAVE_GLIB'.
The problem could be easily resolved if the GTK+ developers actually
paid attention to our reasonable requests, but they refuse to do so
because Emacs is, in their opinion, not a well-behaved program.
Case in point: the nearly 20-year old GTK bug where GTK aborts when a
display is closed. We used to longjmp out, but that used to cause GLib
to emit a large amount of warnings, so that workaround was turned off,
and doesn't work nowadays either.
Another case in point: try resizing or creating a frame on a GTK build
that is smaller than its menu bar, see what GTK does to it, and compare
that behaviour (which cannot be turned off, at least when I tried) to
the behaviour under an Xt or no-toolkit build.
Then of course, there are the many other instances where the GTK
developers refused to implement a basic feature, such as the ability to
adjust the thumb size of a scrollbar, because they did not think it fit
with their idea of how a program should behave appearance-wise.
