Description U. Artie Eoff 2013-05-20 18:43:16 UTC 
gdk_screen_get_height(...) actually returns the "width" (i.e. the same as gdk_screen_get_width(...)).  This only happens on the wayland gdk backend.

Can we backport this patch to 3.8 stable release branch?
Comment 3 Rob Bradford 2013-06-10 09:47:56 UTC 
Do you see this problem on 3.8? That code was only added afterwards...

Oops, you're right... the patch would not make sense on 3.8.  3.8 behaves totally different than the initial report eluded to.  The gdk_screen_get_height/width() methods both return 8192 on 3.8 and are both incorrect (unimplemented for Wayland).  I'm impartial, then, about making it work on 3.8 since Gtk+ Wayland backend is still classified as unstable.
