Created attachment 915966 [details] Screenshot of the program failing to load Apologies is this isn't too clear: ghostty on my system fails to start with the error "Unable to create GL context". ghostty itself cannot run with GLES, and sets GDK_DISABLE=gles-api to prevent GLES from loading. ghostty itself isn't seeming to set this flag, and manually setting the environment variable when running seems to fix the problem: `GDK_DISABLE=gles-api ghostty`. After chatting with someone in the discord server for ghostty, I believe this may be because ghostty is built with an older version of GTK than is required, because apparently it avoids setting the environment variable on older GTK versions.
Please share emerge --info and emerge -pvO gui-libs/gtk.

Actually, no, it's the other way around :) I can't reproduce this with GTK 4.14 but can reproduce it with GTK 4.16, so it seems to be a GTK 4.16 regression.
Investigated this in the Ghostty Discord. This seems to be a Ghostty bug because it doesn't check against the runtime GTK version when applying its environment variables. As a workaround before this is fixed on upstream, rebuild Ghostty after installing GTK 4.16.
