Packaging issues
User-side fonts: right now, upstream is x.org for many of them
What of bdftopcf, mkfontdir, mkfontscale
What of bitmap fonts
User-side cursors:
What of xcursorgen, libXcursor, the on-disk format
Would probably be good to be compatible, so extant
cursor themes still work
Root surface
Determine who owns it and draws background and its cursor:
xsetroot
Proxying things to and from the X-server-as-Wayland-client
I am thinking monitor setup, keyboard/mouse setup
Does an X client get valid EWMH properties for the Wayland
clients, or is this strictly low-grade legacy emulation?
Where do standard color names live? What long ago was in rgb.txt e.g.
"green30"
Keyboard description loading
Right now we are sharing the structure definitions
This is probably equivalent to having Khronos be the
upstream for other definitions
Some pressure to expand XkbNumKbdGroups,
XkbMaxLegalKeyCode
Collision with groups_wrap bits, but they don't
appear to be used or helpful
Collision in XkbIndicatorMapRec groups with
XkbAnyGroupMask; documentation is wrong wrt compiler
Some pressure to both expand and discontinue Geometry
Right now we are sharing the KeySym definitions
Opportunity for further KeySym consolidation to Unicode
Right now we are sharing the keyboard layout definitions
Lots of accumulated wisdom, but also lots of historical
baggage on long dead equipment (/usr/share/X11/xkb/)
There is more that could be done to simplify processing
Actions keyed off of KeySym rather than
compatibility map
Transitioned from libxkbfile, xkbcomp to a new library
libxkbcommon, discontinue Xkm format
