There is a non-upstreamed workaround in mutter for
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/-/issues/2216. This is technical debt.
This appears to be a workaround for a GTK bug, fixed in 3.24.31 and 4.5.1,
which are both in Debian 12. Can we drop the mutter workaround?
On the upstream issue, Marco mentions "the usage of flatpaks/snaps out
there that may not include super-updated gtk versions" which could be a
reason to keep the workaround for some reasonable grace period, but we
shouldn't keep non-upstreamable workarounds hanging around forever.
