For 2.) if GDK_BACKEND is set only that backend (or backends since it can be a
, separated list) will actually be tried.

If that isn't set the application's defined allowable backend set is used which
defaults to "*" for all backends.

But GDK_BACKEND always takes precedence!

For 1.) as soon as we find a working backend we use that type - but yes end up
opening the connection closing it and then reopening it

The code is a bit complex but i'm confident this is how it works.

I agree that we could definitely try and reuse the "probe" connection for the
real one - and i'll work on patch to that effect.
