It adds to the irrelevance that apparently nobody ever tried the
suggested feature.  It was never proven that it would work well,
not even for emacs, AFAICS.

The GTK people, whatever their policy is, are surely GUI practitioners

anything to show off they might well conclude that the best thing they
can do is to protect you against doing something silly.
