aha? This sounds very interesting indeed! Dou you have a preferred link
to some docs about this GTK feature? (googling these things usually
turns up a lot of obsolete stuff)
There's not a great deal of info out there, but see
https://developer.gnome.org/gtk3/stable/gtk-broadway.html
https://developer.gnome.org/gtk3/stable/broadwayd.html
These deal with running a GTK 3 app in a browser on your own machine --
amusing, cool but not very useful. What I don't yet understand is how this
might translate to serving an application such as gretl to people on other
machines, as a "web app".
