This tells Gtk's drawing layer to create native X windows for every Gtk
GUI element, rather than (as Gtk 2.17+ otherwise does) rendering a giant
bitmap and sending it to the server (which should be indistinguishable
from using native windows except for a reduction in flicker).

Normally, I'd expect setting GDK_NATIVE_WINDOWS to improve correctness
for old programs that expect native windows to be there, but not to
affect performance (actually I'd expect performance to be somewhat worse
with native windows on).
