    initial v1  
    1 The resolution pretty much remains the same as the earlier posts.  gnome-desktop has hard dependencies on X11 functionality and requires gtk3 built with the +x11 variant (needs the x11 gdk backend) to build.  This means that it will not build with gtk3 +quartz as currently implemented.  Somehow the dummy +quartz variant that was added 3 years ago to give an error about this iddur has gone away and only comments in the port remain to explain this situation.

    33Theoretically, since about 3.10, gtk3 has had the capability of being built with multiple gdk backend targets but this requires packages like gnome-desktop to test for the backends available and then implement backend specific code for each case or just not use gdk specific code at all.  In practice, only a few GNOME packages have taken advantage of this capability to date and gnome-desktop is not one of them. The inclusion of additional gdk backends such as broadway, wayland and mir may change that in the future.
