Hi,
Any luck with a fix or updates for this? Having a hard time with my
vmware
view client and the same problems..
Well, this is a longer term fix, because by design (and on purpose), Wayland doesn't
allow clients to have an active grab so it's a bit complicated for Xwayland to
translate these to the Wayland compositor.
A possibility would be to use some sort of a "private" Wayland protocol that
only Xwayland would use to inform the compositor that an X11 application has an active
grab. That means reaching an agreement on the protocol, then implementing it in Xwayland
and the compositors (mutter/gnome-shell in our case).
Also, we wouldn't want just any Wayland client to be able to use it (otherwise we
kinda lose the benefit of not having grabs), so as a bit of yak shaving, I've been
trying to get an API to restrict the visible protocols to clients,
https://patchwork.freedesktop.org/patch/105319/ - But not having the API in place is by no
mean a show stopper.
I'll add this to the feature page.
Cheers,
Olivier
