Thanks. OK with a GTK+ bug report on bugzilla.gnome.org.

> Source/WebKit2/UIProcess/gtk/AcceleratedBackingStoreWayland.cpp:79
> +        g_warning("GDK is not able to create a GL context, falling back to glReadPixels: %s", error->message);

I would tweak this slightly to indicate that glReadPixels is slow:

"falling back to glReadPixels (slow!): %s"

> Source/WebKit2/UIProcess/gtk/AcceleratedBackingStoreWayland.h:46
> +    bool canGdkUseGL();

I think this function should probably be static, since it doesn't need any member variables. Otherwise, it should be const.

And we avoid including gtk.h in the header.

I would not, first because it's not accurate, it's fast in most desktops, but also because there's nothing the user can do, I'm afraid. Or what's the reason why GL can't be used? missing libs the user needs to install? or drivers?
