This wl_display proxy is temporary only until waylandsink goes NULL,
at which point the connection to the display is disposed. Unfortunately,
if this is advertised as a GstContext, playbin will cache it and re-feed
it to the sink when it goes PLAYING again, but the wl_display pointer
will at that point be invalid and cause a crash.
Another solution to the problem would be to also cache the GstWlDisplay
object inside the GstContext, which would automatically ref-count
the display connection, but I see no reason in doing that at the moment,
as there are no known users of this GstContext outside waylandsink.
It's probably better to avoid chasing hidden refcounts.
