I've been playing with the branch and I have a working system, both X11 with GDM and Wayland with SDDM (I haven't tried hard enough to set up gdm with wayland as only a change to gdm-configuration doesn't seem to have any effect) and your branch works great on my machine, do you still have the issue during boot? I haven't found any (new) problem on the applications I've tested (x86_64, normal use with almost all of the gnome applications, not the games though.) Nevertheless, I've been reading the patches and I have a couple of comments about them: - The patch for libdazzle only changes the xorg-server, as it already is at version 3.33.90 in master. It still makes sense as a patch, but the title indicates a version downgrade. - The patch for gedit contains a reference to libgd, wouldn't it be clearer for the reader/updater to have it defined in a let over the package definition and use the name in native-inputs? - Is there any reason to not patch-out the gtk-icon-update-cache invocations? If I understand it correctly, this is performed at profile level, so makes no sense creating a cache at package level, isn't it? The patches for quadrapassel, gnome-klotski, ghex, gnome-sudoku, gnome-mines, five-or-more and gedit contain references to it. Maybe creating a package like xorg-server-for-tests (perhaps 'gtk-bin-for-build'?) linked to "true" from coreutils would help in the long term. As a final comment, the gnome release cycle and the amount of packages involved is quite big, so again, thank you. Happy hacking! Miguel
