A full output when the error occours could be useful.

That makes no sense at all. GTK+ has and never will depend on Mono. GTK+
wayland code may only depend on wayland-scanner for generating C code
from XML interafaces or something like that.

Yes and no. Wayland itself is a library and is not init system specific.
And there isn't a single reference to mono in GTK+ codebase as far as I
know.
