The special X window manager is implemented in xwayland.so, and for
now, it runs in the same process as Weston.

Is this the intended final design, or will this function be moved to xserver? It sure seems like it would fit into xserver better. It sounds to me like the X window events are being somehow encapsulated into the wayland protocol, so the wayland process can read them and translate them to real wayland events. Wouldn't this fit much better into the xserver?

Just FYI, that it is intentional to not see any X windows when run like
that. Crashes are a different matter.

Yes the windows do not show up, and the applications appear to work as though they are waiting for the map event.

Then xwayland.so is running however I get a crash in the interpretation of window events.
