Mageia/Mandriva control center (MCC) is written in gtk+
It uses a GtkSocket in order to embed config tools when one click on the tool
icon.
Those tools create:
- either a GtkWindow (when not embedded)
- or a GtkPlug (when embedded)

See eg: from https://wiki.mageia.org/en/Software_management
- MCC main window:

- MCC embedding the 4th tool ("configure media..."):

- MCC embedding the 1st tool ("install/remove software"):

This works well under X11 but won't work anymore if/when switching from X11 to
Wayland

So please add support for GtkSocket/GtkPlug in the Wayland backend.

Thanks
