This is my list of few X11 apps to test, when I poked around Weston's
XWM:
- xterm, and its menus
- geany (gtk+2); menus, context menus, tooltips
- printf 'eka\ntoka\nkol\nnel\nvii\nkuusix\n' | dmenu -l 4
- gimp; toolboxes, menus, context menus, tooltips
- kcachegrind (Qt4), menus and tooltips
- GDK_BACKEND=x11 gtk3-demo --run=combobox
comboboxes, context menus, menu demo
- rofi -show run -modi run
dmenu: http://tools.suckless.org/dmenu/
rofi: https://davedavenport.github.io/rofi/
Not all of them work properly in Weston either.
Thanks,
