Thanks for the links! I'll read through them. I figured that a discussion like this had happened in the past around how to give clients privledge, but I couldn't find anything that would allow them to actually do the thing they were given permission to. We should flesh out both parts of this model. I read over libwsm and it seems like a fairly sane approach. I'd like to read the arguments for/against it.

I'd like to find a way to use OBS (https://obsproject.com/) from Wayland, for example. > I really wish we can have everyone onboard on one solution to get these > cross-platform apps and so far, I do not see any better solution than WSM. Well, I'm definitely on board. Sway is clearly a smaller project than Gnome or KDE and I would rather not build the "Sway Desktop Environment". I think we can arrive at some solutions that are in line with the Unix way AND meet the goals of the big DEs. -- Drew DeVault _______________________________________________ wayland-devel mailing list [email protected] https://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/wayland-devel
