If the Gnome Shell can act as wayland compositor in Gnome 3.10 I think it can be run by exporting GDK_BACKEND=wayland and running gnome-shell directly—as it is done with weston (weston-launch). But I’m not shure if this functionality is avalable in Gnome 3.10 stable. ¹ https://projects.archlinux.org/svntogit/packages.git/tree/trunk/PKGBUILD?h=packages/gtk3
