Client permissions
I see a lot of discussions on this list about what clients should be allowed to do. Is this such a big deal? All software on my Linux systems is free software, and if it doesn't behave it can be fixed. Any restrictions in what is allowed is bound to stifle innovation in one way or another. If I don't like how an application works, I always have the choice of not using it. -- Niklas ___ wayland-devel mailing list wayland-devel@lists.freedesktop.org http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/wayland-devel

To be fair, I was pushing the machine by running two VMs, one of which was running Windows update. Chrome may have been paged out. When I clicked in it it didn't respond, and when I tried to minimize it that locked up window operations in the whole desktop. Nothing responded to clicks and I couldn't switch active windows. After about a minute it came back into life. Probably when things had gotten paged back in. It's not a nice situation. I see badly behaved apps often in Linux as well. I think its important that you can switch active windows and move other windows on top of unresponsive ones, so that you can say start a process monitor and kill it. It's also nice if you can move, minimize and kill them. Client side decorations have many benefits, so maybe just have some special hotels or similar for this. ___ wayland-devel mailing list wayland-devel@lists.freedesktop.org http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/wayland-devel

The best way to enforce styling is to enforce it at the window manager level, so that the applications on the system actually obey what the user wants them to do, not some crazy idea that the application developer had. Isn't the point of free software that we allow people to do what they want? Yes, some application might do something you really don't agree with, but you don't need to use that application. -- Niklas ___ wayland-devel mailing list wayland-devel@lists.freedesktop.org http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/wayland-devel
