Description Matthias Clasen 2016-02-22 12:30:55 UTC 
I was recently starting metacity in a wayland session to manage a Xephyr display, and it tried to load the gdk wayland backend, which doesn't make any sense for an X11 window manager.

You should call gdk_set_allowed_backends ("x11") - this is exactly what it was invented for.
