One thing i which concerns me is how the different compositors (gnome-shell, kwin, mutter and enlightenment) will behave if the users home directory is delivered thru NFS . I dont think Redhat wants to have the same type of conversation they had with an client about GVFS bad behaviour when running over NFS if an wayland compositor is sensitive to the same type of race condition as gvfsd. OR is the gnome community of the belief that NFS-accessed home directories is obsolete ? The race condition in gvfsd can be triggered in the use case of a single user desktop on a single machine but said machine needs to be heavily loaded. I wont be able to run wayland on my machine (old nv20-based graphical card.) Anyone with a spare agp card with really good support in current day X.org ? _______________________________________________ desktop-devel-list mailing list desktop-devel-list@gnome.org https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/desktop-devel-list
