I've switched to running feature/pgtk on my daily driver to kick the
tyres and see how things work. However I wonder about how this new code
deals with a failing desktop environment. When I start up I still get
the warning:
Warning: due to a long standing Gtk+ bug
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gtk/issues/221
Emacs might crash when run in daemon mode and the X11 connection is
unexpectedly lost.
Using an Emacs configured with --with-x-toolkit=lucid does not have this
problem.
which doesn't inspire confidence. I've just taken down my Wayland/sway
session due to an unrelated bug and while I could see emacs --daemon
processes running the server socket in /run/user/1000/emacs had
disappeared. So a quick question:
- Is the pgtk branch meant to address this longstanding issue?
Follow-up questions for debugging:
- How do I check from inside Emacs is the GUI frame is connection via
GTK/Wayland or is using GTK/X11 (via Xwayland)?
Thanks,
