I think we need a new bug to track gst-play-1.0 preferring X11 over
Wayland. Seems a few years overdue.

Title:
playing 4K HEVC content with gst-play-1.0 crashes gnome-shell
Status in gnome-shell package in Ubuntu:
Invalid
Bug description:
[ Description ]
Unfortunately I couldn't convince apport-cli to report this for me, so
manually attaching a symbolic crash backtrace and other information I can think
of.
This is an easily reproducible crash on questing Aug 26th. It may not
have anything specifically to do with HEVC or 4K content, but that's
what reliably reproduces it for me. The test file is 182 MiB, so not
easily shareable here, but I can share if required.
I found I need to play the file in Showtime first (which works fine),
and then play the file in gst-play-1.0. Before the window is even
mapped, the shell crashes (although you here a few seconds of sound
before that).
A cursory glance at the backtrace suggests this might have something
to do with switch between Wayland / X11 (perhaps gst-play is
negotiating an X11 window for some reason...)
[ Misc information ]
Linux 6.16.0-16-generic

gdm3
Ubuntu 25.10
gnome-shell 49~beta.1-0ubuntu3
It appears to have something to do with XWayland.
