Will xsuspender work with xwayland layers?

Open Futureknows opened this issue 6 years ago • 1 comments

Xsuspender isn't compatible with Wayland, but most Wayland WMs include xwayland which is a layer that allows applications to run on x under Wayland. Will xsuspender work with in this configuration?

You tell me. :smiley:

According to https://wayland.freedesktop.org/docs/html/ch05.html#sect-X11-Application-Support-architecture:

A Wayland compositor usually spawns only one Xwayland instance. This is because many X11 applications assume they can communicate with other X11 applications through the X server, and this requires a shared X server instance. This also means that Xwayland does not protect nor isolate X11 clients from each other, unless the Wayland compositor specifically chooses to break the X11 client intercommunications by spawning application specific Xwayland instances. X11 clients are naturally isolated from Wayland clients.

Provided xwayland models X11 sufficiently well for libwnck to get all the infos xsuspender requires, it might. Test reports welcome.
