-current: gtk3/gtk4 font rendering require xdg-desktop-portal-gnome in plasma wayland

The latest gtk3 and gtk4 require xdg-desktop-portal-gnome for font rendering in wayland outside gnome environment, for example in plasma wayland. Unfortunately xdg-desktop-portal-gnome depends on systemd.

You are sure that's not enough xdg-desktop-portal-gtk ?

I already had xdg-desktop-portal-gtk installed since I'm began using plasma-wayland. Needed to use virt-manager and several gtk3 app properly.

Thank you. I forgot to mention the bug report.

I knew that xdg-desktop-portal-gnome only requires systemduserunitdir for startup service. So stripping out all systemduserunitdir lines from all meson.build files fixed the problem.

But, it's just a small problem. More and more gnome components will be tied to systemd at some point.
