Ah, yes that would be Lucid.

That's fair, but my intention wasn't so much a comparison with GTK3 as a
question for how [P]GTK3 should work in Emacs. Let me know if I should
take this elsewhere.

Okay, but what alternatives are there? I have the following directories
under /usr/share/themes: Adwaita, Adwaita-dark, Default, Emacs,
HighContrast, Raleigh.
Replacing Adwaita with Default, Emacs, or Raleigh in settings.ini makes
no difference.
With Adwaita-dark, I see the following:
And with HighContrast seeing is not believing that the region is active:
Is this entirely a misconfiguration on my end, or can Emacs do better?
