Description
With Gnome 44, the Double Commander running via XWayland, the windows are not correctly placed / remembered and what not. I assume this is mutter issue. But one solution to this would be if DC supported Wayland. So I though I'll give it a shot and try if Gtk3 is the way to go:
$ lcl=gtk3 ./build.sh beta

Fatal: (1018) Compilation aborted

Error: (lazbuild) failed compiling of project /builddir/build/BUILD/doublecmd-1.0.11/src/doublecmd.lpi
So it seems it got quite far with compilation prior it failed.
Not really knowing what I am doing and not spending too much time with investigation, I naively tweaked the file a bit:

Well, it does not really work, but if nothing else, it now runs native Wayland.
So I wonder, is the Gtk3 support something what was considered and would be feasible?
