What about "3rd party" window managers like openbox? From my limited |
| 21 |
understanding of wayland, that functionality just goes out of the window |
| 22 |
(OOPS, sorry); window management becomes a responsibility of the toolkit |
| 23 |
and there is no way to plug in a different one. |

Or does xwayland help with that? I'll be grateful for an explanation of |
| 26 |
this area, as I'm worried about the future of the X server but I'm also |
| 27 |
married to openbox. |
