Wayland and Weston 1.0 released

They already do. The contents look totally different. They're designed according to HIGs with fundamentally different ideas. They don't have the same VFS, or open/save dialogs. The button order (OK vs. Cancel) is different. The printing UI isn't common. Keyboard shortcuts are different. And so on, and so forth.

CSD means that window decorations are inconsistent in between applications, but it means that the frame and the application themselves are at least consistent. Swings and roundabouts.

> Or consider toolkits that until now didn't *need* to render their decorations -- I wonder whether Tkinter and FLTK even have any decoration-rendering code because usually the OS will be happy to provide that.

The pithy answer to this is 'life's tough'. Writing a toolkit is already really, really hard. (Window managers too.) You'd be surprised how difficult it is; the /topic in #xorg-devel for years was 'seriously, don't write your own toolkit or window manager'. Especially in X11, and especially with all the synchronisation nightmares that external decorations bring you. It's a lot of code, a lot of frustrations, and a hell of a lot of corner cases.

Wayland greatly simplifies that on the whole by removing a lot of the truly difficult parts (e.g. size incoherence) and hair-tearing corner cases, and since toolkits already render all the content, then I expect rendering decorations won't exactly be onerous for them.

The exception to the rule here is SDL, which AIUI doesn't do any drawing of its own. But that's widely-used enough that I expect they'll be able to adapt quite easily.
