(I'm going through old bug reports that unfortunately weren't resolved
at the time.)

Reading this bug report, it's not quite clear what the actual problem is
here.  In any case, Emacs 29 has pure GTK support (for Wayland), so
perhaps this isn't an issue any more?

If this is still an issue, could you provide a code snippet to reproduce
the problem, starting from "emacs -Q"?
