Nothing about Wayland limits us to Linux. We try to think more broadly, wlroots supports FreeBSD for example. Even without that, it's just about making the right design decisions. The Wayland protocol is used to communicate about the cursor, and it will be rendered by the compositor. The client and compositor already speak Wayland to each other. To me, the ownership over this information clearly lies in this relationship and using side-channels to communicate this information is a bad design. _______________________________________________ wayland-devel mailing list wayland-devel@lists.freedesktop.org https://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/wayland-devel
