+//! WebKitGTK workarounds for NVIDIA's proprietary driver on Linux.
+//!
+//! On NVIDIA + Wayland (reported on CachyOS/KDE, driver 615, webkit2gtk 2.52)
+//! the app never shows a window: GDK dies with "Error 71 (Protocol error)
+//! dispatching to Wayland display", and under XWayland WebKit's DMA-BUF
+//! renderer then fails with "Failed to create GBM buffer … Invalid argument".
+//! `WEBKIT_DISABLE_DMABUF_RENDERER=1 GDK_BACKEND=x11` makes it run normally.
+//!
+//! So, before GTK/WebKit initialise, and only when the NVIDIA driver is loaded:
+//! - `WEBKIT_DISABLE_DMABUF_RENDERER=1`;
+//! - on a Wayland session with XWayland available, `GDK_BACKEND=x11`.
+//!
+//! Anything the user already set wins, and `LOTUS_NO_GPU_WORKAROUNDS=1`
+//! disables all of it (e.g. once a newer driver/WebKit fixes this).
+
+/// Environment variables to set: pure, for tests.
