There's a difference though; here qutebrowser uses Qt, and qtwayland
works as a plugin, so as long as it's found in your user profile it
should just work.  Is it not the case?

I'd like to avoid adding package variants if possible.

[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

 I'm running XWayland and, at one point, it just stopped working (would launch in X, instead); it's been a while since I ran it (I've been running this version, instead) but I think that was why I wrote this up. Even when it was working, launching it from an X app. would cause it to run as X. I remember it being really annoying in unexpected ways and not always predictable.

OK; I'll close the issue, but if someone else encounters a problem
attempting to use qutebrowser on wayland (despite installing qtwayland
in their user profile), let's reopen and revisit it.
