+/* FIXME: This code is problematic; it misuses GTK, so the GTK
+   developers don't think they should fix the resulting problems in GTK
+   itself.  The right way to fix this is by rewriting the code in Emacs
+   to use GTK3 properly.  As of 2020, there is a project to do this.

+   in doing substantial work on this.  */
