    Yes. And then you argued with my post without reading it.

    I have no reason to believe the Wayland backend of GTK cannot be broken out into a dynamically loadable library, as in Qt. That just hasn't been done yet, so at the packaging level, it can't be split up. I've opened a bug requesting it in response to the "won't fix" this article is about: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=690381

      I believe they're going to enable it in the 13.04 release, because libegl1-mesa already depends on libwayland0

      Add --enable-wayland-backend to build flags. I believe this is all that's necessary for wayland to work with the existing Precise gtk packages. Wayland has one released version, 0.85, which is in the precise archives: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/wayland/ I'm told gtk 3.4 is (and will remain) compatable with it. Since gtk 3.4 is apparently already packaged for Precise, all that remains to be able to use some gtk applications via wayland is this build flag.
