> Easy. Add an 'override mode' to the compositor.

So is this in the Wayland architecture ?

It's not yet implemented (the very basic 'fading of inactive clients' was pushed yesterday) but it's certainly within the Wayland architecture and perfectly doable.

OK, now still add per-client network transparancy (not per-desktop) optionally with NX-style reconnectability and then I may consider Wayland as an option.

It's certainly possible. As I understand, something like xpra for Wayland is in the works.
