--- Comment #2 from Emmanuele Bassi (:ebassi) <ebassi at gmail.com> ---
I very, *very* much doubt we're going to add a new environment variable for
that, but I'll let the maintainer of GTK to answer this authoritatively.

The only reason why the X11 backend falls back to the settings.ini file is
because you're clearly not running an XSettings bridge, to expose settings
(coming from GSettings, in the GNOME/GTK case) over X11 events. Since Wayland
does not have this weird contraption, we access GSettings directly, if its
available on the system.

My strong suggestion is for you to change the GSettings, if you're running
under Wayland, instead of trying to use a key/value file for everything.
Alternatively, remove dconf, and GTK will use the settings.ini file.
