I'm not sure what you're talking about.  What is being clipped to fit
inside the container widget?

It will be more straightforward to implement tool-bar wrapping.

But I gave up on the GTK 4 work I was doing, since GTK 4 is simply not
ready: it doesn't even support subpixel anti-aliasing, and has many
regressions compared to GTK 3 when it comes to display synchronization,
drag-and-drop, and selections.
