The developers of Wayland belong to the second group ;-) -o- I think that the main linux distros will gradually adjust to the opinion of their users ... -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1652282 Title: Xwayland not using XAUTHORITY, prevents root applications from connecting To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/gparted/+bug/1652282/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
