Public bug reported:

There is a new point release in the stable GTK 4.16 series.

https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gtk/-/blob/4.16.3/NEWS


Test Case 0
-----------
gtk4 has an extensive build test suite, and failures will fail the build.
gtk4 also has thorough autopkgtests.
Ensure that the build succeeds and that the autopgktests pass.

Test Case 1
-----------
Make sure that opening and saving files from the Firefox and Chromium snaps 
still work

Test Case 2
-----------
snap install portal-test
snap run portal-test
Verify that the app seems to still work ok

Test Case 3
-----------
Install and test gtk4-demo (from the gtk-4-examples package) as well as a few 
other GTK/GNOME applications like nautilus and gnome-text-editor, and verify 
that they continue to launch and work as expected.

What Could Go Wrong
-------------------
Many of the default Ubuntu desktop apps use GTK4. A serious enough regression 
could severely break the Ubuntu Desktop.

Ubuntu includes xdg-desktop-portal-gnome by default which is used for
many snap actions like providing a file chooser. This is critical
functionality for our snaps. The Ubuntu flavors use a different portal
backend, most commonly xdg-desktop-portal-gtk which uses GTK3, so are
not affected by this SRU.

gtk4 is included in the GNOME micro release exception.
