            Bug ID: 4631
           Summary: Embedding external editor crashes Claws-Mail on
                    Wayland
           Product: Claws Mail
           Version: 4.1.0
          Hardware: PC
                OS: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P3
         Component: wayland
          Assignee: users at lists.claws-mail.org
          Reporter: claws-mail-bugs at ares-macrotechnology.com

I configured gvim as my external editor. This works fine when running
Claws-Mail under xwayland. However, when running natively under Wayland,
Claws-Mail crashes when starting the external editor.
I got the following output on the terminal:

claws-mail:8462): Gtk-WARNING **: 21:32:47.987: GtkSocket: only works under X11

(claws-mail:8462): Gdk-WARNING **: 21:32:47.987:
/var/tmp/portage/x11-libs/gtk+-3.24.34/work/gtk+-3.24.34/gdk/x11/gdkwindow-x11.c:5653
drawable is not a native X11 window

bug 2355, comment 8 predicted this, I believe.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Configure an external editor, e.g. 'gvim -f --socketid %w %s'
2. Open a compose window
3. Launch the external editor
