As far as I remember from the discussions (and I might well be wrong),
the display close bug has been fixed in the newest Gtk+ versions.
So how would this strategy be? If no toolkit is specified and GTK+ is
available, use GTK+ if it does not crash on display close.
Of course, at configure time, we might not have a DISPLAY available in
the first place. Is there a good heuristic to figure out whether a
given GTK+ version would crash on close, even without having a display
in the first place to test it with?
