Public bug reported:
It seems that libei is not a dependency for xwayland, and hence xwayland never
gets compiled with support for using libei for xtest emulation on XWayland.
Hence, xdotool, steam etc can not utilize the now excisting XTest emulation,
which works in for example Fedora 40.
For more info see for example:
https://gitlab.archlinux.org/archlinux/packaging/packages/xorg-xwayland/-/issues/3
Libei IS however installed so it seems the intent was for it to work but
since xwayland lacks the support it does not.
Ubuntu 24.04
xwayland 2:23.2.6-1
Expected behaviour is that for example xdotool now should work under
Wayland thanks to libei but currently it does nothing.
