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.

Is that specific to certain desktop environments?

I have a PGTK build compiled here (rev 70c3437a), and 'C-;' seems to be working fine. Ubuntu 20.04, GNOME Shell under Xorg.
