Hello,
And thank you to all who responded and linked useful resources (and
sorry I took so long to react).
Unfortunately this confirms what I expected and makes it very difficult
for me to promote my program on Linux (unless I explicitly restrict to
X11 sessions under certain distributions that will still support it for
a while, but that becomes a bit difficult to explain to non technical
people!). Such a pity.
I had not though about enforcing using Xwayland, but isn't that
something that is, also, completely beyond my control as the developer
and not the end-user?
Finally, the last idea I have for now, not really tried, but maybe
someone can directly put me off if they know it won't work either :-) :
make my application always run fullscreen and therefore cover the whole
desktop, and manipulate sub-windows as I want "inside" my fullscreen
main window. Will it cover all monitors though?
Has someone tried something like this under Wayland?
Thanks again,
Lencho

I haven't followed discussions for a while. However, I think the following
is still how it is: Allowing applications to do this kind of "low-level"
window management is not wanted by the community developing Wayland (the
protocol and the desktop environments). So unless the Wayland community
changes their mind you cannot port your application to Wayland without
redesigning these aspects.
To be even more clear: this has nothing to do with your application. It's a
desktop decision.
So Lencho's questions aren't entirely about the state of Wayland support in Qt
6. It's more about the state of the KDE kwin_wayland and what extensions it
supports. Some of it can be accomplished when kwin_wayland is running
XWayland, but not all of it.
