Xfce 4.18 Planning Begins With An Eye On Wayland Application Support

Xfce used to be my second DE.
There were two situations when I had to resort to it frequently:
- when KDE config files were using dynamically generated signatures for config files preferences, and after some break-up it would not load properly (this must be one of the stupidest use of signatures in the history of computing);
- when Qt changed that way sub-process signals were handled, breaking vlc, octave and other qt-based applications under linux/KDE. For some time I had to run Octave under Xfce until a workaround was used (it was another stupid decision).
I still like it, even though I fire it only occasionally. Hopefully, it will skip mutter and will have a solution based on wlroots or Mir.
Wish the current developers crop the best.

Finally. We don't have enough lightweight feature-complete Wayland-compatible desktop environments.

You might not like the demise of X, but the people doing the work have decided. We better get with the program.
