Description: Ubuntu 17.04
Release: 17.04
apt-cache policy mypaint
mypaint:
Installed: 1.2.0-4
Candidate: 1.2.0-4
When running MyPaint under a GNOME Wayland session, the application does not start. When launched from the command line, the following output is generated:
INFO: mypaint: Installation layout: conventional POSIX-like structure with prefix u'/usr'
INFO: lib.i18n: POSIX: LANG='en_US.UTF-8'
INFO: lib.i18n: POSIX: LANGUAGE=None
Gdk-Message: Unable to load bogosity from the cursor theme

TypeError: constructor returned NULL
This bug can be worked around by setting the environment variable GDK_BACKEND to x11 when running MyPaint; the patch does this.
