That is great and all, but what I really need (not want, need) is a proper screen grab protocol for xwayland and wayland so that I can record windows or portions of screens with applications like SSR and OBS (which is currently impossible under an Wayland session).

Well, what if there's a bug in the app that grabs input, and it freezes and doesn't respond to input? (Happens in games). Or if the app is malicious? Then you can't switch out of the app the normal way, and your only recourse might be to restart the system or restart the display manager (which normal users would be unaware of)

↑ Yes, not only are you relying on each application implementing Alt-Tab to do something sensible (that's Super-Tab if you're on Weston), you're also depending on them never hanging. Bound to fail! And I don't even see how you would restart the display manager if your keyboard (and mouse) are locked up … other than running an ssh server just in case of emergency.
Yikes, I had really hoped this mistake wouldn't be made again!Last edited by andreano; 02 August 2017, 03:09 PM.
