In commit 6c1db901e22f21eb8ffa1ea03da562a59c115067, the appears_to_be_wayland function was reverted (commented out, really), but the includes and scaffolding for it were left in. This has a couple of effects:
The compiler emits a warning for unused functions
An additional header include is used
The link command is longer, and tries to link to libXi, resulting in overlinking unless -Wl,--as-needed is used
The original rationale for keeping it:
I've left the "is on wayland?" detection code that is otherwise now
unused, in case we want it later.
The code has gone untouched for several years now, so it is probably time to remove it altogether. In a pinch, it can always be retrieved via git log.
