[Request] Bundle GTK within the appimage

[acidrums4]

Hello there.

As the title says, it would be awesome for Firefox's Appimage to have bundled gtk within. As of today, it's not possible to run successfully the appimage on a system that does not have gtk installed.

Not sure if this is possible or that gtk is being left out of the Appimage by choice, though, but other apps that use gtk do include gtk within them - i.e. Inkscape

Not sure if this is related but is it possible to bundle xdg-desktop-portal or xdg-desktop-portal-gtk because file dialogue would not work without one of them.

I have run into this issue as well, is this something you guys are working on?

@brandlymarc I tried to get it working by just installing the xdg desktop portal package but couldn't get it to work. At the end, I think I just disable desktop portal file picker by going to about:config and set widget.use-xdg-desktop-portal.file-picker to 0

Same problem here: libgtk-3.so.0 not found.
