Description
Hello EAF maintainers, first of all I want to thank you for the great project of increasing the possibilities of emacs and its incredible extensions.
The problem I want to report is about the problems that arise when running EAF as well as PopWeb sister project as soon as pgtk is enabled in the build adding a new rendering engine to Emacs replacing the legacy X11 implementation by using only the GTK API , which brings native wayland support to Emacs.
Well, installing these packages as in the case of ArchLinux `emacs-wayland` , EAF does not render both the PDF reader and the Browser in the buffer, in the case of PopWeb it does manage to display a flashing image and it constantly crashes, sometimes throwing the following message in minibuffer:
`dbus-call-method: D-Bus error: "org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.UnknownMethod"`
Maybe I'm not very technical about the problem, this is solved in a trivial way like installing `emacs` or `emacs-nativcomp` emacs programs without enabling pgtk in the build.
But perhaps it is good to inform you because it is already known that support for x11 will not last long and Wayland is the Present and future, capable of the new emacs packages coming with pgtk enabled by default.
Greetings and hugs to all of you, I hope to see you contributed something.
