IIUC Wayland has its own display variable, $WAYLAND_DISPLAY. Apparently Gtk
doesn't have a good way of determining what backend to use, or maybe it prefers
to run on Wayland if it finds it even the particular login session is X11.
You could try exporting GDK_BACKEND=x11 in your remote session before starting
any Gtk programs.
