This "the" should be deleted.

Can we document other variables as well?

Also, I don't think I understand: is Broadway one of the backends for
Wayland?  And Wayland is another backend?  The text says "can run on
Wayland", but then uses "Wayland" as the name of one backend of many.
So it's a bit confusing: is "Wayland" the name of a backend, the
generic name of the GTK backends, or something else?

Thanks.
