gtk-shell: Work around non-working startup notifications

GNOME Shell relies on the MetaScreen::startup-sequence-changed signal,
which is tied to (lib)startup-notification and therefore X11. As a result,
when we remove the startup sequence of a wayland client, GNOME Shell will
not be notified about this until startup-notification's timeout is hit.
As a temporary stop-gap, go through XWayland even for wayland clients,
so that the signal is emitted when expected.
