Public bug reported:

Impact
------
There is a new point release in the stable GTK 4.6 series.

https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gtk/-/blob/4.6.9/NEWS

Test Case 1
-----------
Make sure that opening and saving files from the Firefox and Chromium snaps 
still work

Test Case 2
-----------
snap install portal-test
snap run portal-test
Verify that the app seems to still work ok

Test Case 3
-----------
sudo apt install gnome-shell-extensions-prefs
gnome-shell-extensions-prefs

GNOME Shell extensions can be configured and managed, the program can
run without crashing both during runtime and shutdown.


What Could Go Wrong
-------------------
Ubuntu includes xdg-desktop-portal-gnome by default which is used for many snap 
actions like providing a file chooser. This is critical functionality for our 
snaps.

The Ubuntu flavors use a different portal backend, most commonly xdg-
desktop-portal-gtk which uses GTK3 so it's not affected by this SRU.

The other gtk4 apps installed by default in Ubuntu are gnome-chess and
gnome-shell-extension-prefs.

gtk4 is part of core GNOME and is in my latest proposed update to the 
microrelease exception
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates/GNOME

https://discourse.ubuntu.com/t/scope-of-gnome-mru/18041/42

gtk4 has extensive build tests and autopkgtests.
