Rob Bradford provided a patch to make gtk built with both wayland and x11 backends usable: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=672358#c8 (by disabling the wayland clipboard when both are built).
When GTK+ 3.4 is released next week it will be merged into Ubuntu Precise. But it appears to have been decided that this patch will not be included until GTK+ 3.4.1, and Ubuntu won't cherry pick it because the wayland backend isn't being enabled anyway (because of the remaining Nvidia propreitary problem and the fact that it's way past feature freeze). #ubuntu-desktop on irc.freenode.net appears to be where ubuntu gtk+ decisions are made. A phoronix comment explained that the part of the Nvidia problem is "...nVidia builds their drivers with position dependant code, which is slightly faster but can not be shared between different programs (so it gets duplicated for each program running that uses GTK+)" - http://phoronix.com/forums/showthread.php?69536-Whoops-There-s-A-Big-Problem-For-Wayland-GTK&p=254956#post254956 ** Bug watch added: GNOME Bug Tracker #672358 https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=672358 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/954352 Title: Enable wayland backend To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gtk+3.0/+bug/954352/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
