should dms have a toggle for setting gtk-enable-primary-paste? #2329

Description

Feature Description

Recently, GNOME (via gsettings-desktop-schemas) changed the default value of gtk-enable-primary-paste to false.

I just got hit with this after an update and I was wondering why middle-click wasn't working in ghostty despite using niri.
Many users may be unaware why the feature stopped working or never know this feature existed.
Gnome doesn't expose a GUI setting to set it.

I use both middle-click to paste and autoscroll and never had an issue with it conflicting.

Use Case

This has been a feature forever and I use it every day.
