GTK Ubuntu Precise packaging success

[Alex Wu]

Hi darxus,
I installed your PPA on my ubuntu 12.04 desktop and followed your 
directions on https://launchpad.net/~darxus/+archive/wayland-gtk to run 
the gtk apps you listed both on native weston and weston as X11 client. 
I would like to share some information of my trying.

1.  gtk apps will crash due to invoke gdk_x11_* functions in 
libcanberra-gtk3-module which is a sound event wrapper lib for gtk3. so 
I removed this package.

2. Should setuid for weston like this:
      sudo chown root /usr/bin/weston
      sudo chmod +s /usr/bin/weston

3. Each time launched weston, should make the sockect accessible for 
clients:
     sudo chmod ugo+rw /tmp/wayland*
     I noticed that 2 and 3 has been mentioned in this thread, but 
adding them into your directions may make thing easier.

4. For gnome-terminal, gedit and rhythmbox,  should launch a session bus 
and export the DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS. When run app under unity, 
DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS is already their.  when  run app in fullscreen 
weston (launched in VT), should export DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS manually.

5. brasero can not run, and no useful log printed.
