Gtk Emacs doesn't respond to dark mode either -- so we have the
opportunity to decide how to handle these things across the board.
Perhaps in Gtk Emacs, dynamic-setting-handle-config-changed-event should
also just set something that will make the next frame creation use
different colours?

But perhaps Windows should be listening to those events, too?
