Hello,

On Debian Testing/Sid I still have the same issue: Remmina 1.1.2-3 works well on Gnome 3.22 with X11 but it give segfaults with Wayland protocol implemented by Gnome-Shell 3.22.2-1.

Since this bug was reported here, upstream had a patch merged to disable wayland backend on issue report #680 [1].
As it's a Github pull request, a patch [2] and a diff [3] are available.

In another related issue report #677 [4], the upstream team gave a workaround for current Remmina version: force the use of the X11 backend by setting the environment variable GDK_BACKEND to x11.

I've tried to apply this workaround by modifying the desktop file with such line:
replace "Exec=remmina" by "Exec=env GDK_BACKEND=x11 remmina"

It works well but I think, it's better to apply the upstream patch if possible (my .desktop workaround seems a bit hacking for me).

Thanks,
Adrien

PS: Remmina 1.2 has Mir and Wayland support (see [5] and download instructions [6]), but I think it's too short time to be ready for next Debian release.

PPS: The workaround and patch are also needed for Mir sessions according to the patch [2] and upstream issue [7], but I didn't tried it.
