See
<https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/libgnomekbd/-/blob/master/libgnomekbd/gkbd-keyboard-display.c#L60>,
it's a little bit old program and is set to only run in X11 (or XWayland on
Wayland), so it won't be a native Wayland client.

I think gnome-shell needs to keep a XWayland process running with it for all
time now. There will be a XWayland run as needed feature in upstream but not in
current version we are using.
