We'll see. I'm also concerned about compatibility. I don't know what the
situation is with Wayland now, but a couple years ago they were saying
you would have to make changes to some of the applications you use
because they weren't compatible with Wayland. I don't buy into that. In
my opinion it's up to Wayland to build in compatibility with established
applications, not _vice versa_.

Other than XWayland that gets into philosophical questions. In Wayland an
app is effectively sandboxed. Not so with Xlib. Somehow when working with
Motif you always found yourself working back through all six volumes to
Volume One. Gods help you if you got to Volume Zero.

I have no idea. I just use X11. Sometimes life is a lot easier when you're
clueless, like me.
