Bug Description

Some hybrid GUI/console applications, like veracrypt, fail with GLib-GObject-CRITICAL warning when using the console option when upgrading from Ubuntu 20.04 to 24.04.

The discussion about veracrypt is here:
https://github.com/veracrypt/VeraCrypt/issues/1440

And that relates to this wxWidgets issue:
https://github.com/wxWidgets/wxWidgets/issues/24081

The problem has been fixed in 3.2.5 in this commit:
https://github.com/wxWidgets/wxWidgets/commit/8ea22b5e92bf46add0b20059f6e39a938858ff97

At the moment, the maintainer of the deb package is statically linking the 3.2.5 library as a workaround.
But it would be helpful if this would be handled upstream by either bumping the release to 3.2.5 or backporting the above commit in 3.2.4 in noble/24.04.

Thanks.

P.S. I've checked that Oracular onwards should have this fixed already.
