This is a subtle incompatibility to the X backend. In our application tests,
I've noticed quite a few criticals stemming from the fact that widget setup
code that is running before entering the mainloop ends up accessing devices,
e.g the core_pointer. In X that works, you can get the devices as soon as the
display is opened. In wayland, the list of devices in the devicemanager is
empty until you enter the mainloop.
