I forgot to mention: gtk3-rs is officially EOL upstream: 
https://github.com/gtk-rs/gtk3-rs

I partially started to patch gtk3-rs to use the newer glib from 
experimental. However,  this is not really supported and I'd rather 
remove it now that it's EOL. For qwertone we can employ partial 
vendoring; this will also need to be done for squeekboard (in progress). 
I'd appreciate if you agree on vendoring gtk3-rs in so I can go ahead 
with my removal plans.

This might be the best solution going forward.

best,
