Describe the bug

WezTerm fails to start with the following error:

Anything else?

This is probably an issue in smithay-client-toolkit v0.16, because its examples fail with the same error in Plasma 6. Those examples in v0.17 work just fine.

I'd believe that upgrading will resolve this.

I've spent some time looking at updating this dependency; the changes are significant (and positive), but migrating to sctk 0.17 is effectively a rewrite of wayland support in wezterm and I don't currently have the time for this.

Can reproduce the exact same error when running under Sway.

Hi @wez, I am experiencing various issues with a number of Rust apps with SCTK <=0.17. I asked about this in #sway and one of the SCTK devs opened this:

• Restrict SimpleGlobal bindings to our max API version Smithay/client-toolkit#406

I tested this by cloning wezterm and running cargo update -p smithay-client-toolkit.

I can confirm that wezterm is now working again under Sway tip.

I think this means that you could unblock some Wayland users now without needing to fully move to [email protected]. If I'm not mistaken, this will resolve this particular issue.

Thanks for the heads up! I've opened #4322 to bump the dependency version. For me, it successfully starts in Plasma 6 now. It would be nice if someone using another compositor could confirm.
