[Bug]: out_to_wayland not respected anymore (regression)

[proycon]

What happened?

In a configuration with out_to_wayland = true conky 1.20.2 attempts to use X11 regardless and therefore no output appears at all. A workaround is to set out_to_x = false, but this was not needed in earlier versions of conky where this worked fine.

Reproduced on sway on Alpine Linux edge and on hyprland 0.39.1 on Arch Linux.

Version

1.20.2

Which OS/distro are you seeing the problem on?

Linux (other)

Conky config

conky.config = {
    out_to_wayland = true,
    alignment = 'middle_middle',
    own_window_argb_value = 0,
    own_window_type = 'desktop',
    default_shade_color = 'grey',
    draw_shades = true,
    font = 'Sxmo:size=13',
    use_xft = true,
    update_interval = 15,
}

conky.text = [[
${alignc}${font Sxmo:size=50:style=Bold}${exec date +"%H"}${font Sxmo:size=50}:${exec date +"%M"}${font}

${font Sxmo:size=20}${exec date +"%a %d %b %Y"}${font}
]]

Here on KDE Plasma 6 wayland no output at all. I have downgraded to 1.20 now

conky.config = {
    gap_x = 30,
    gap_y = 1360,

I'm having the same issue as @magdesign and @olm52 (Hyprland on Arch, for my part, downgrading to 1.20 has been my temporary resolution too) -- but I don't think this is the same issue as the OP. Should be a new issue?

@simonwiles no need, you'll get a notification when this issue is addressed, so you can just create a new issue if it's not fixed for you then. There's a lot of Wayland support missing so creating a separate issue won't really help.
