People running X should not use the PGTK port.  The only use it has is
to support Wayland and Broadway.

And it's not intentional.  Rather, it's a bug in the various GTK input
modules out there that isn't likely to ever be fixed.  Just treat it as
a limitation of the PGTK port and don't use it unless you have to.

Thanks.

Indeed, which is one of the reasons why people who don't have a specific
reason to use the PGTK port (such as Wayland) should not use it.
