This seems amazingly fragile: if I'm reading correctly, gtk-layer-shell
is using undocumented and unstable GTK3-internal data structures?

I hope it goes without saying that this is not an intended interface
provided by GTK.

gtk-layer-shell can continue to work around this by updating its
assumptions with each new GTK 3 version that gets released, but GTK is
not going to commit to any amount of stability for something that is
explicitly a private data structure.
