I've heard of that bug before, but I cannot reproduce it.

What happens if you comment out this part of gtkutil.c, around line
3305?

      {
        pgtk_menu_set_in_use (true);

I think "Pure Wayland distributions" will probably not appear in the
near future, and we will see the situation remain as it is now, with
both X and Wayland sessions being offered.
