Thanks, but I'm pretty sure this isn't a bug in Corfu either.  GTK
repeatedly maps and allocates memory when displaying a child frame, and
somehow that is very fragment-y.

My honest opinion is that child frames are a mis-feature that could
easily be implemented with normal frames (i.e. completion popups could
be undecorated transient override-redirect frames), and judging by the
messy implementation details on most systems, I think I'm right.
