[MCL-16066] GTK 2 has reached the end of its life

With the release of GTK 4.0, one of the launcher's dependencies is now unsupported. I image that the requirement for GTK 2 is soley upstream, possibly CEF, and that there may be nothing to be done at Mojang.

Yep, we are dependent on GTK 2 due to CEF. A future CEF upgrade should remove this dependency!

This is technically not a bug as it is by design, but I'll keep it open until we update CEF.

I noticed gtk2 was removed from the dependencies on the AUR and removed it from my system to no ill effect. Has the recent update of Chromium resolved this?
