Issue nemo-preview does not work on Wayland session. It throws the following error:

(nemo:21512): Gdk-CRITICAL **: 13:22:17.241: gdk_x11_window_get_xid: assertion 'GDK_IS_X11_WINDOW (window)' failed

Steps to reproduce

  1. Install nemo and nemo-preview on any Wayland session.
  2. Run nemo and try to preview anything by hitting spacebar.

Expected behaviour The selected file preview is shown.

Other information The file preview works okay on X11.

I came across this https://reddit.com/r/pop_os/comments/iw2y1p/install_and_enable_nemopreview_in_pop_os/ which recommended editing /usr/bin/nemo-preview and adding export GDK_BACKEND=x11 before any of the export lines if using Wayland. nemo-preview is now working for me on Wayland Gnome on Arch.
