AIUI, wxWidgets needs EGL for wxGLCanvas to work under Wayland. With 3.0, we had a hack in place to force use of X11 if the wx GL library was loaded: https://sources.debian.org/src/wxwidgets3.0/3.0.5.1%2Bdfsg-5/debian/patches/force-x11-for-wxgl.patch/ That was better than not working, but doesn't seem a desirable long term solution.
