I think this would need something different, an actual "human friendly" name, like 'Dell 24"' or 'Builtin monitor'. If you'd have strings like "DP-1", they are hardly helpful for selecting where to fullscreen. > - Xwayland can name the X11 outputs based on their genuine names rather > than assigning e.g. XWAYLAND0 If the protocol is loosly specified as in it's not known what format you'll get, I don't think Xwayland can make any use of this.
