> which allows for running full X11 desktop environments using Wayland components

Wait so is this turning Wayland into a client/server model like X11, where eventually it could support existing window managers and other stuff separate from the compositor?

I remember a year or two ago wondering if that would ever happen and I think I only got one reply saying it wouldn't happen because it was unnecessary.



Yes basically. It's one full screen xwayland context you run a normal x11 wm in
