GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 750059
Use the X11 clutter backend for now
Last modified: 2015-08-15 20:44:43 UTC
Since there seems to be a bug in Nvidia's proprietary driver causing gnome-maps to crash on startup, and propably few people yet use Wayland, we should probably force the X11 clutter backend for now.

Can't this be used instead of envvar?https://developer.gnome.org/clutter/stable/ClutterBackend.html#clutter-set-windowing-backend

Now using Clutter.set_windowing_backend instead of fiddling with the env var. Thanks for hint!
Review of attachment 304200 [details] [review]: Thanks! I think we should do this, at least for Fedora 22. Have you tested that it works?
Yes, it works (tested on master).
This bug seems to be fixed by recent patches to clutter and clutter-gtk. https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=747489 I tried locally to revert the patch, and gnome-maps still works, so I _think_ we could probably say it's safe to revert this (and let stable distros (F22?)) update to new versions of clutter and clutter-gtk when they become available.
