I would report the issue to upstream too:

Thanks

Issue was closed with comment...

Jens Georg commented:
er no. This is completely removing that. Carry that on teh gentoo side if you wish, I don't care about patch. it is wrong.

I filed a bug on a shotwell site and got the following response:

--------
Jens Georg commented:
Please just install the development library gdk-wayland-3.0. It will not use wayland, it is to be able to detect whether it runs on wayland.
--------

So I tried to install dev-libs/wayland which seemed like the closest match.  This did not help.  

Moreover, the 0.30.14 version of shotwell has now disappeared from the repo so masking > 0.30.14 is no longer an option for a new install.  My solution is therefore to switch to a different viewer, ristretto in my case.  This works fine for me.

gdk-wayland-3.0 is provided by x11-libs/gtk+[wayland].

OK, thanks.  It's working now, with the following entries in the
/etc/portage/package.use/shotwell

# shotwell
media-libs/gst-plugins-bad         egl
x11-libs/gtk+                      wayland
media-libs/mesa                    wayland

Incidentally, this also solved the tor browser problem, which also refuses to start without checking for wayland.  So double thanks!

is there anything left to do here?

[Comment 14 Pacho Ramos 2023-11-24 12:35:34 UTC]

It is fixed in current versions as it uses libportal
