GNOME Applications under Wayland
GTK+ has a Wayland backend. If it was enabled at compile-time, you can run a GTK+ application under Wayland simply by:
GDK_BACKEND=wayland gnome-calculator
Applications that use Clutter or clutter-gtk also need the Clutter Wayland backend enabled:
GDK_BACKEND=wayland CLUTTER_BACKEND=wayland cheese
See /Porting for information on porting applications to Wayland.
Status
Tested on the current state of fedora rawhide/f20. Weston/wayland 1.2, gtk+ from git master, libcanberra from git master, clutter-gtk build with patch from bug#695737
