+Subject: [PATCH] Give an error when trying to use wxGLCanvas on non-X11
+ display
+
+Currently, wxGLCanvas on wxGTK is only supported on X11 displays.  If a
+user attempts to use wxGLCanvas on Wayland, for example, the application
+will core dump.  This change adds an error message and a suggested
+workaround until wxGLCanvas is supported on Wayland.
+See #17702
+See https://github.com/wxWidgets/wxWidgets/pull/871
+
+(backport of 95857a1f71bd0c19e3059ebf0eea28e9bb8b7602)
