gtk3 bubblewrap dependency
Whenever I start a gtk3 application, I see mysterious bubblewrap processes running.
For example,
zim─┬─bwrap───bwrap───glycin-image-rs───2*[{glycin-image-rs}]
When I log into my desktop, there is a ton of this stuff going on. Theses processes disappear after a few seconds.
Digging into this a little, I see a (new?) dependency chain gtk3 - gdk-pixbuf2 - glycin - bubblewrap
Not sure how long things have been this way.
Just curious on the rationale for this dependency, purpose of bubblewrap-glycin chain for casual users. My environment is not being run in any kind of container.
