Thanks, but I'm afraid this is not necessarily TRT.  You simply revert
part of Stefan's change for some configurations, but I don't
understand why not setting windows_or_buffers_changed affects Lucid,
but not GTK.  Did you succeed in understanding the reason?

And btw, why do you also add this for non-toolkit builds: did you see
the same problem in that configuration?
