Also, those two things are not at all incompatible (though ajax, please do correct me if I was wrong in what I wrote, or if I'm wrong in this). It's perfectly possible (and I think likely) both for Wayland to be implemented in such a way that you can use X remoting more or less transparently, *and* for there to be some kind of native remoting protocol for Wayland. -- Adam Williamson Fedora QA Community Monkey IRC: adamw | Fedora Talk: adamwill AT fedoraproject DOT org http://www.happyassassin.net -- devel mailing list devel@lists.fedoraproject.org https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
