Description
GTK2 has reached its end of life. Correct me if I am wrong, but the arduino ide still uses GTK2? That should be fixed now, almost every other application is GTK3 ready now.

https://blog.gtk.org/2020/12/16/gtk-4-0/
> It does mean, however, that GTK 2 has reached the end of its life. We will do one final 2.x release in the coming days, and we encourage everybody to port their GTK 2 applications to GTK 3 or 4.
Contributor guide
Research direction
No source files, tests, or entry points are named. Start by confirming whether Arduino IDE 1.x still depends on GTK2, then review the linked GTK end-of-life references and identify the GTK integration; done means the IDE no longer relies on GTK2 and remains functional on the supported GTK version.
