LibreOffice crashes without Wayland

I've installed the gtk3 lite package from AUR, and now LibreOffice (fresh / 5.2.4) crashes:

/usr/lib/libreoffice/program/soffice.bin: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/libreoffice/program/libvclplug_gtk3lo.so: undefined symbol: gdk_wayland_display_get_type

Is anyone else using LibO without the wayland backend and may help me?

Re: LibreOffice crashes without Wayland

And why did you install an unsupported, out of date package exactly? I'd be surprised if that is the only thing that breaks. Because of the size savings, which will most likely be minuscule?

You can tell libreoffice to use GTK2 instead: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/LibreOffice#Theme

Of course I've updated the PKGBUILD before using: See https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/gtk3-typeahead/

Uncommenting

export SAL_USE_VCLPLUGIN=gtk

did not change anything!
