Wayland Nvidia situation for initial Plasma 6 release

[Kai Uwe Broulik]

Hi,

plasma-integration already (which I am NOT happy about!) creates a GL 
context to check whether to use software rendering, there we could also 
check the GL_VENDOR and set basic render loop.

But backporting won’t hurt either way I’d say.

Cheers
Kai Uwe
