I agree that it should ideally be fixed, provided the GTK APIs allow for 
it (I've been surprised to find some of the things we take for granted 
on other platforms that are just completely absent from GTK, like being 
able to set the windowBoundingRect).

But in the meantime, to keep your project moving forward, it can be 
helpful to explore other options to get the same result.

What's happening in your setup that makes hiding the stack impractical?
