[Impact]
Upstream has released v10.3 of budgie-desktop.

The main aim of the release was to resolve a number of GTK+3.22
regressions together with additional functionality.

Zesty is currently v10.2.9

This SRU request is to cherry-pick the key GTK+3.22 regressions from
this upstream release and apply this to zesty

[Test Case]
With the current version: Move the panel to the bottom.  Click the start menu button.  Note that the start menu button jumps from the top of the screen to the bottom
With the updated version: Click on the start menu button and the popup should not jump from top-to-bottom

With the current version: Click any of the panel applets.  Note the speed of opening of the popup.  It is instant.  Compare  the popup opening and animation from regular GNOME apps like Files.  The popup has a smooth animation opening.
With the new version: Click of any panel applets, the popup animation should be exactly the same as any GNOME apps.

With the current version: clear the notifications so that he bell symbol in the panel is white.  Reboot.  The bell symbol will turn red due to connecting of network manager to your wifi.
With the new version: repeat - network manager notifications do not cause the bell symbol to turn red.

With the current version: Press ALT+F2.  Note that the popup dialog is very small and does not display all the information about applications when you search.
With the new version: Press ALT+F2.  The popup dialog correctly displays all information about the applications found when searching

[Regression Potential]
For the majority of setups the bottom panel menu popups are resolved.  Note - the bottom panel popups that drop quickly from top-to-bottom may not be resolved in all setups - this is a known upstream issue tracked here. https://github.com/budgie-desktop/budgie-desktop/issues/867

There is a small chance of regression that the double popups animation
may return - this was subject to the previous update4 patch drop.  The
likelihood is thought small since 10.3 has been released to both Solus
users as a main release and to Ubuntu users as part of testing
activities.  No reported regressions in this area has been reported on
the upstream tracker.

There is no regression potential for the notification issue on first
logon given that the current capability is broken.

There is no regression potential for the ALT+F2 given that the current
capability is broken.
