Description
There are many bugs with current gtk3 wcm, such as wcm setting the wrong option, or setting 0 for int/double options when leaving the plugin view. I have worked on these bugs but determined they are mostly related to gtk3 and gtkmm(3). Porting to gtk4 seems like the path forward, and hopefully will shake out some of the bugs we are facing.
@NamorNiradnug Are you up for this? 😃

Research direction
Start by reviewing the current GTK3 and gtkmm(3) implementation of wcm and the reported option-setting behavior. The issue does not name files, tests, or entry points, so the first task is to map the existing plugin view and configuration handling. Done means a GTK4 port that addresses the wrong-option and zero-value bugs.
