Could you try and see what GtkSettings says? (It should be the same as
using GSettings directly but worth trying):
```
#include
int main(int argc, char **argv)
{
gtk_init(&argc, &argv);
GtkSettings *settings = gtk_settings_get_default();
gboolean enable_animations;
g_object_get(G_OB

Yes, this is on bare metal. Just to reiterate, animations are showing in
the OS, and in apps. (Except for Flutter apps.)
When I'm at the machine, I'll try to check whether it thinks there's no

In a virtual machine without 3d acceleration, such as Virtual Box, it is
expected that gnome-shell disables animations, and as Robert said the
portal will ask the shell before checking gsettings.
If you see this happening on bare metal though, that possibly indicates
that gnome-shell thinks you're
Thanks for the reply! Here's output from my physical machine (not the VM

Looking at the source for the GTK and GNOME backends, the gnome one also
checks for animations from the shell - can you check if the following
has animations set:
```
gdbus introspect --session --dest org.gnome.Shell.Introspect --object-path
/org/gnome/Shell/Introspect --only-properties
