I'm trying with Manjaro GNOME in VirtualBox. If running in an Waylandenvironment (in /etc/gdm/custom.conf the line "WaylandEnable=false"needs to be removed/commented), the environment variable WAYLAND_DISPLAYis set and XDG_SESSION_TYPE is set to "wayland".

I'm not 100% sure whether setting XDG_SESSION_TYPE to "x11" willactually force SWT to use X11. Could some Linux expert pleaseconfirm/correct?
