Title:
Update gtk to 3.24.2
Status in gtk+3.0 package in Ubuntu:
Fix Committed

Bug description:
Impact
======
There is a new release in the stable 3.24 series.
This also bundles the emoji fixes from LP: #1807719 and LP: #1807721
and the Xfce flickering fix from LP: #1798861.
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gtk/blob/gtk-3-24/NEWS
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gtk/compare/3.24.1...3.24.2
Test Case
=========
Run several apps in the default Ubuntu install and make sure that there are
no visible regressions.
We will also be checking Xfce to validate the fix for LP: #1798861.
Regression Potential
====================
There is a standing microrelease exception for GNOME point releases.
I believe this is the second time in recent history that we've pushed
a gtk point release as an SRU. The other example was 3.22.25 for
Ubuntu 17.10 (LP: #1728421). We never ended up doing one for Ubuntu
18.04 LTS since it already included 3.22.30, the final 3.22 release.
It hasn't been practical to update 18.04's gtk to the 3.24 series
(bumped dependencies are one problem).
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates#GNOME
By the way, pre-release gtk3 is actually getting a bit more testing
than a year ago since more developers and users are using development
Flatpak releases of popular GNOME apps.
Other Info
==========
One of the bigger changes in the git commit history were theming changes to
the GNOME default themes (Adwaita and Adwaita Dark which are bundled inside
gtk3. Ubuntu 18.10 uses the Yaru theme as default instead.). But those changes
were reverted for this release to make it easier for distros like us to push
the update to our stable release.
