During this discussion some changes were made to this inheritance structure in

by Andrew Tropin. I've cc'ed him here to make sure he sees this discussion to make sure everyone is on the same page. I've seen notes before of pgtk being only for Wayland and potentially causing issues on X (this was some time ago, I can dig up the emacs threads if anyone wants). Personally I've never had issues in the past with pgtk on X, but haven't used it in quite some time. Just a note to keep in mind.
