gnome-applets does not support Wayland at all. Moreover we do not deal
with sticky keys, only with sticky notes :)

Also this is unlikely a duplicate of #648292: that bug was filed in 2011
when there was no GNOME Wayland session yet.

According to some upstream links [1][2] this should be moved to gtk+.
