LPC: Life after XLPC: Life after XPosted Nov 12, 2010 10:36 UTC (Fri) by dlang (✭ supporter ✭, #313)In reply to: LPC: Life after X by michaeljt Parent article: LPC: Life after X
if all the new applications are written to run on X then wayland has no native apps and does no good.
if all the new applications are written to run on wayland, then they cannot be clients for X and the fact that there is still an X server you can run on top of wayland does no good (except for obsolete apps that pre-date wayland)
do you see why people who need network transparency may be opposed to the common development going in a direction that doesn't support it?

Your reply implies that it's impossible to layer network transparency on top of Wayland. I doubt that's true.

you are right, I am assuming that good network transparency (as opposed to what VNC etc provide) it is going to require some consideration in the design of the windowing system, and since the people working on the windowing system are taking the attitude 'nobody needs network transparency', such consideration is unlikely.
