Description-en: GTK+/GNOME portal backend for xdg-desktop-portal
xdg-desktop-portal-gtk provides a GTK+/GNOME implementation for the
desktop-agnostic xdg-desktop-portal service. This allows sandboxed
applications to request services from outside the sandbox using
GTK+ GUIs (app chooser, file chooser, print dialog) or using GNOME
services (session manager, screenshot provider).
