Stephen, eh, ...whut? Do you get that a lot from gnubies? I have little clue what you are talking about. Doing a search for "Wayland" in my system info, I find it twice. One in "Display", and the second in Monitor -2. Knowing nothing about configuring, GTK, recompiling... I would need precise instructions on what exactly to do? But, should there not be an easier way? I guess if this is the issue, there might not be, but this is definitely not something I know anything about. What are gnubies to do in a case like this? Oh, dear!
