Hi,

I see this warning message in the logs:

Were those messages from a Xorg session or Wayland session?

[Marco Trevisan (Treviño) (3v1n0)]

IIRC this depends on the XWayland version we use to compile mutter, it's not a big deal though.

-listenfd fd add given fd as a listen socket
-listen fd deprecated, use "-listenfd" instead

So eventually it does the same

[Marco Trevisan (Treviño) (3v1n0)]

Yeah, confirmed.

#ifdef HAVE_XWAYLAND_LISTENFD
#define XWAYLAND_LISTENFD "-listenfd"
#else
#define XWAYLAND_LISTENFD "-listen"
#endif

I do not even have to log in to have those messages. They are generated by gdm before I log in.
And gdm itself uses Wayland.

The bug is fixed in lunar.
Thanks!
