This flag violates the logic of the application. 1. tg_owt is not able to find picture sources when the TG_OWT_USE_X11=OFF (tested on Gnome/wayland) 2. tg_owt is not able to handle it properly (cause to segfault error). More info: https://github.com/telegramdesktop/tdesktop/issues/16781
As discussed in the github issue, please test USE="screencast -X" and rebuild telegram-desktop afterwards. This should be a valid configuration.

This should be a valid configuration. Rechecked twice: USE="-screencast -X" emerge tg_owt telegram-desktop ### segfault USE="screencast -X" emerge tg_owt telegram-desktop ### valid configuration
Bug status: mostly fixed. Any change to the tg_owt USE flags now requires a telegram-desktop rebuild, resulting in fixing the ABI compatibility issue, and the crash resulting from having no available screen capture backends (or having one that doesn't work on the current display server) has been fixed in net-im/telegram-desktop-2.9.3. Since USE="-X -screencast" is valid and doesn't cause a crash in 2.9.3, this configuration is still allowed. A postinst message has been added to warn users about this, since it's more likely that someone running wayland-only forgot to enable USE=screencast rather than it being an intentional configuration. This bug will remain open for the time being, since having no screen sharing backends (or one that doesn't work on the current display server) will still crash net-im/telegram-desktop-2.8.11. I'm too tired and have too little time to backport the fix and test it, as I'm unclear on the scope of the change, so it's likely to remain unfixed on that version for the time being, or until a newer version is stabilized. I hope that the ABI compatibility fix and postinst message will go a long way in preventing others from hitting the issue. A PR for the above has been submitted. Please allow proxy-maint some time to review and merge it. Thanks for bringing the issue to light.

Additionally, tdesktop itself uses some of the variables controlled by USE flags of the tg_owt package during compilation. As such, telegram-desktop should be rebuilt when *anything* about tg_owt changes...
