Fred: I think you misunderstand. I don't think Iain is saying this can't be fixed. Somebody please correct me if I'm wrong, but it sounds to me like the solution which would make Iain happy, and not cause any problems for anybody else, would be if GTK+ built its Wayland backend into a separate dynamically loadable library, and loaded it at run time. So that a GTK+ package could be installed and run (at all, under X), without the absolute necessity of installing a Wayland package just to get GTK+ to run (at all, under X).
Iain, can you confirm I understand this, so I can at least open a bug against GTK+ requesting it? Is there anything else that would be needed? This has been a pretty frustrating process.
