Does Cambalache support that? See https://blogs.gnome.org/xjuan/2021/05/18/merengue-cambalaches-workspace/ Cambalache is ultimately just an editor for GtkBuilder XML files. The same thing that GLADE outputs. Merengue is how it shows you a preview of the app you are working on. Using a Wayland compositor like this avoids having to mix Gtk3 and Gtk4 in the same program, which is apparently a known problem with GLADE. My question would be whether Cambalache itself will run under X11, especially on Nvidia drivers. Embedding Wayland inside X11 always seems to be a problem. This will depend entirely on the compositor implementation. If it is based on wlroots then there is a good chance it won't work. -- Alistair Buxton [email protected] --000000000000f91d01063f01fc1f Content-Type: text/html; charset="UTF-8" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable <div dir=3D"ltr"><div dir=3D"ltr"><br></div><br><div class=3D"gmail_quote g= mail_quote_container"><div dir=3D"ltr" class=3D"gmail_attr">On Wed, 17 Sept= 2025 at 08:44, Alexander Schwinn <<a href=3D"mailto:[email protected]">acs82= @gmx.de</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class=3D"gmail_quote" style=3D"= margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-lef= t:1ex">The README.md claims to use some custom wlroots based wayland compos= itor <br> and something called "Merengue" .. not clear to me if that is onl= y <br> relevant for the application itself, or as well for the generated code. <br= > The generated Xfce GUI's are supposed to as well run on X11 for the tim= e <br> beeing.
