Yeah. OpenMW is the funniest, it works as a native app (SDL2), but currently requires Xwayland to load because some silly dependency does X stuff.

AFAIK, Chromium is not a GTK application anymore (it used to be in the early versions, but now it's all custom stuff).
Chromium OS actually supports Wayland as a *server* :D but google is still not accepting the patch for Chromium *on* Wayland.
https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/chromium-ozone-wayland-git/ is a Linux package with that patch.
Someone could import that to FreeBSD ports but seems like most of us who could do it are Firefox fans, haha.

hmm, qt5 has always worked fine for me (with QT_QPA_PLATFORM=wayland), since the early days when evdev has just appeared on FreeBSD…
You can use truss to see where it's trying to allocate the buffer.

Join the dark side, use Wayfire — we have wobbly windows and desktop cube animations, like in the good old days of Compiz :D
