Firefox doesn't support Wayland yet, but GDK prefers Wayland to X11 when both environments are available. To keep the extension usable on Wayland environments, we have to force GDK to choose the X11 backend. There is a function in C API of GDK called gdk_set_allowed_backends, which can be used to modify the priority of GDK backends. It must be called before opening a display. However, the usual way to import GDK in python, 'from gi.repository import Gdk', runs override scripts which automatically calls gdk_init_check. Therefore, we use 'gi.module.get_introspection_module' instead of the standard way to access gdk_set_allowed_backends. Calling it with 'x11' makes sure that we always use the X11 backend, which is the only GDK backend currently supported by Firefox. This commit fixes GKFX#1.
