CentOS/Rocky/RHEL8 compilation produces broken binary

[uli42]

I have cloned the source from here and tried to compile lxterminal on a rocky89 machine. After installing vte291-devel configure still did not work and complaint about missing vte. I had to add `--enable-gtk3``. Then I was able to run make without a problem. But the resulting lxterminal binary just opens a window without menubar. The context menu shows on right mouse button but selecting preferences there does nothing.
