Wayland gtk windowing (glimagesink)

Hello Max,

Based on your python code, I have added:

GdkDisplay *display = gdk_display_get_default();
struct wl_display *wl_handle = gdk_wayland_display_get_wl_display(display);
GstContext *context = 
gst_context_new("GstWaylandDisplayHandleContextType", True);
GstStructure *structure = gst_context_writable_structure(context);
gst_structure_set(structure, "display", G_TYPE_POINTER, wl_handle, NULL);
gst_element_set_context(data.video_sink, context);

That's the only difference I see. But I'm still receiving the error message:
Error received from element waylandsink0: Application did not provide a 
wayland display handle
Debugging information: ../ext/wayland/gstwaylandsink.c(1102): 
gst_wayland_sink_set_window_handle (): 
/GstPipeline:pipeline0/GstWaylandSink:waylandsink0:
waylandsink cannot use an externally-supplied surface without an 
externally-supplied display handle. Consider providing a display handle 
from your application with GstContext

Any idea what I'm missing else?

Grégoire
