- Upstream recommends spawn_async() instead of spawn_sync(), but the bindings
  for it are erroneous.

- The upstream GTK devel branch has dropped some X11-specific APIs, including
  the interface for urgency hints. Eventually, this feature will have to be
  removed from weltschmerz too.

- Upstream VTE indicates [1] [2] [3] that VteTerminal is incompatible with
  GtkScrolledWindow. weltschmerz has been using the latter since its launch,
  but has yet to run into any problem with it. Depending on how GTK/VTE will
  handle outstanding issues [4] [5], we might have to take action in the
  future. Bug reports or comments regarding this are appreciated.

  Note: A cursory check revealed that at least one other VTE-based emulator,
  terminator, seems to be using GtkScrolledWindow as well. According to [2], an
  implementation for gnome-terminal is planned too, but work seems to have
  stalled.
