Package: pterm
Version: 0.69-1
Severity: normal
Tags: upstream
pterm crashes immediately running under Wayland (gnome-shell).
The reason is that (since this verson is built against gtk+ 3)
gtk defaults to the Wayland backend, but pterm makes raw X11
anyway. If I force the use of the X11 backend with
GDK_BACKEND=x11 pterm
it works. Note that putty suffers from the same problem.
Either the GDK_BACKEND should be pinned temporarily or
the build should use
DEB_CPPFLAGS_MAINT_APPEND += -DNOT_X_WINDOWS
which seems to work. The latter might need -Wno-error=unused-function. Also,
there is a problem with the default font setting
"server:fixed" which doesn't work under Wayland.
