Indeed, I'm on pc Debian x86-64 with master sources and by default it uses
gtk3.
Badfully, gtk3 uses accessibility part which has been quite broken since
years (but I suppose no one will want to remove it). So sometimes, I got
some assertion or bug with gtk3 which prevents me to reproduce the real bug.
There's also kf5 rendering (corresponding to kde, I don't know why it's not
called "kde5") which doesn't use accessibility but need a lot of extra libs
to install (there are also all related Plasma and Wayland things that I
don't know enough so sometimes it's not easy to reproduce kde specific
bugs).

kf5 comes from KDE Frameworks 5.

The extra libs to install are (on Debian & Ubuntu):

qtbase5-dev libkf5coreaddons-dev libkf5i18n-dev libkf5config-dev libkf5windowsystem-dev libkf5kio-dev

Finally gen rendering which "seem" (perhaps I'm wrong here) not to use extra
libs and in which some window dialogs are not modal (I don't know why) is a
good complement to test (even if I dislike UI above all open file window
dialog).

Yeah, but if gen/x11 stops having a practical use, then it will merely be an extra thing to test with its own quirks, causing constant maintenance effort.
