I was likewise hit by a similar issue. It seems to be a Wayland bug,
rather than a Gnome bug though.
Also, none of the Gnome application are affected due to their heavy use
of Glib stuff that do enough magic to keep everythign working.

If anybody could also help with my bug above, that would be awesome.
