I"m not sure this is accurate. You should only use the pgtk build of
Emacs if your running wayland. You definitely should not use it if your
running under X.
The big issue is that some important key input facilities don't work
correctly if you run the pgtk build under X (actually, I'm not sure they
work correctly under Wayland either, but then again, Wayland is a
different beast to X and differences can be expected).
The pgtk build is not a replacement for the current xlib+gtk build,
which will remain the correct build when running under X.
Unfortunately, this does mean that if you use both X and Wayland, you
likely will need two builds of Emacs.
There was a fairly long discussion thread about this on emacs-devel
about a month or so ago. The upshot was flagging the need to update the
documentation to clarify that people should not use the pgtk build when
running under X windows.
I suspect this means the below patch will need further refinement.
