Subject: 30.0.50; PGTK build breaks some default keybindings
Date: Mon, 03 Jun 2024 14:19:44 -0700

Emacs describes some keys differently when built --with-pgtk, breaking
some default keybindings.

When built with default configuration:
 1. emacs -Q
 2. C-h k
 3. (I press the key that produces keycode 159)
Result: "<XF86Forward> runs the command next-buffer" etc.

When built "--with-pgtk":
 1. emacs -Q
 2. C-h k
 3. (I press the key that produces keycode 159)
Result: "<Forward> is undefined"

I don't know how many keys this affects; media keys like
"<AudioNext>"/"<XF86AudioNext>" and function keys like
"<ScreenSaver>"/"<XF86ScreenSaver>" are affected as well, breaking
customizations that rely on naming those keys with kbd.

The names of such keys are provided by GDK, just as they previously were
by your X library distributor, and there is little in our power as to
correcting inconsistencies between the two beyond creating additional
bindings for existing instances of the X names in Emacs.
