GNOME: A WEEKEND HACK
I’ve been working on making GtkInspector use a different display connection. This helps isolating it from some of the changes you can trigger from inside the inspector UI. Then I thought, why not use a different backend ?!
We did enough work on GDK backend separation that it could almost work. But since we didn’t add API to actually connect to specific backends (users and applications get some control with GDK_BACKEND and gdk_set_allowed_backends()), nobody has ever used multiple backends in the same process. And things that don’t get used don’t work. So some fixes were necessary.
