📄 Description

GTK4 introduces a lot of breaking changes, mostly involving event handling. This PR will track the progress of the port. It's going to take me a while to get through it all, and this will be secondary to continuing bar development.

You need gtk4 and gtk4-layer-shell installed. These are normally available through your package mananger.

Thanks to @pinklifeart for porting the notifications module.
