Looking for workaround for gtk3 crashes with xwayland-satellite (x to wayland compatible)

[Shin Il Sub]

Hello, I'm very grateful for the free release of the Workstation product line and the support provided in the forums. VMware is probably the only product that supports various guest OSs.

Currently, I am using NixOS as the host. It is a bit different from regular Linux distributions. Also, since i'm using Wayland, so using `xwayland-satellite` (compat like xwyaland) for X compatibility. There were no particular problems at the beginning of use, but crashes have been occurring recently. I was wondering if you know of any related cases.

Since no significant root cause could be identified at least for me, nothing special was written down. I am willing to provide information immediately to investigate this matter (prefers email when confidential logs).

First of all, I would appreciate it if you could check the issue tracking created in xwayland-satellite: Vmware workstation pro crashes · Issue #412 · Supreeeme/xwayland-satellite

also here's some extra separate feedback:
- If you use Exclude mode (a function to remove the top bar) in full screen mode, it is not rendered pixel perfect and appears as anti-aliasing. (One host pixel is the average of two guest pixels)
- The sound playback is not smooth and there is a problem with interruptions occasionally. This may be because you are using pipewire (or custom configuration).

Hi Shin,

I have reviewed the crash details you have shared and it seems you are hitting the below libx11 issue
https://github.com/xkbcommon/libxkbcommon/issues/888

Can you please check the libx11 version on your host and upgrade it to 1.8.13 and try. This should resolve the issue.

Thanks
