It's harder than I thought, no thanks to the Wayland API. In many cases, seven steps are needed to do something simple. For example the amount of code need to...

The more time goes by the more clear it becomes that Wayland is a disaster. We should have taken a hint from plan9's 8 1/2 windowing system in stead. For...
