Adds an option to the Global Menu which allows for forcing XWayland when using Yad, by exporting
GDK_BACKEND=x11
. This can be useful for compatibility in some instances, if XWayland is buggy, or if some Desktop Environment settings cause issues with Yad's Wayland support. One example is KDE Plasma's "Apply Scaling Themselves" option, which really breaks Yad's sizing functionality on multi-monitor displays with various different scale factors.The
export GDK_BACKEND
may cause issues in future with some programs that rely on this, for example launching a native Linux custom program which actually has good Wayland support will force it to launch with the X11 backend. If this becomes an option we'll need to investigate some alternative, such as finding a way to only set this for Yad.TODO:
