Description Alivema4ever 2016-10-19 11:36:30 UTC

Since the release of wayland-protocols 1.7, a new xdg_shell v6 is introduced[1]. This breaks backward-compatibility with older xdg_shell implementation.

[1] https://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/wayland-devel/2016-August/030606.html

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Wayland-protocols 1.7, wayland 1.12, and weston 1.12 need to be installed.
2. Launch weston-terminal app on plasma wayland session or kwin_wayland

Actual Results:  
Notice that weston-terminal can't be launched, with the following message

weston-terminal: clients/window.c:5118: window_create_internal: Assertion `custom || display->xdg_shell || display->ivi_application' failed.

Expected Results:  
Kwin_wayland is able to launch weston-terminal and other weston apps.

This issue doesn't occur on Gnome 3.22.1, since weston-terminal and other weston apps run fine on Gnome 3.22.1

will this enable native wayland gtk3 apps ander kwin?

Comment 2 Martin Flöser 2017-10-21 11:00:49 UTC

Implemented as of 5.39 release. Also integrated into KWin/master, so Plasma 5.12 will support this.
