Gtk: cannot open display error

[Boyan Ding]

Hi,

Google chrome (and chromium) doesn't have native wayland support (there
is ozone for wayland but not official yet) at present so if you want to
use it in wayland environment, you need Xwayland.

You have to install weston >= 1.5.0 and enable xwayland in xorg-server
1.16.0 (refer to [1], git version not recommended because xwayland now
is affected by an outstanding bug [2]).

I can launch chrome successfully on my machine but I have to warn that
there are still some bugs and the user experience may not be smooth.

Regards,
Boyan Ding
