Package: libclutter-1.0-0
Version: 1.26.4+git2779b932+dfsg-7
During startup of applications like evolution, libclutter initializes the
wayland backend. The code there loops - while waiting for a wl_shell
interface. In newer wayland compositors like Hyperland this protocol is no
longer used. I have attached a patch that resolves this issue. This only
affects the backend code - no code in the wayland backend seems to use the
wl_shell interface. This is a minimal patch, one could also completely
remove wayland_shell from the code.
kind regards
Andreas
