Hi Eric,

There is no work yet on this and it is not scheduled. I expect it would 
be a lot of effort to get working, and we're fully booked right now, 
and unfortunately none of our customers care about GTK+ 4 (it's a shame 
that Red Hat isn't a customer :) so it seems unlikely that we'd be able 
to start on this within the next year. Maybe.

If you want to help, I know Adrian Perez and Benjamin Otte have been 
throwing around some ideas. The plan involved writing a GTK+ 4 based 
libwpe backend so that the GTK port would become based on WPE. Adrian, 
this thread would be a good chance to document your ideas.
