It occurs to me that we could add the code to force X11 so that it
activates when the libwx_gtk3u_gl-3.0.so is loaded. If the app is
linked to that library that makes it very likely wxGLCanvas will
be used, and if it isn't linked to that library, it won't be.
I tend to think this is probably better handled by adding workaround
code to affected apps though - they'll need it to work under Wayland
on other distros after all.
