Well, there's a bad idea. I suppose I could see an X replacement which incorporated window management into the server, instead of into a special client; but letting all the clients draw their own borders is a recipe for chaos.
- hencq 16y agoIsn't an X window manager just another X client too at the moment? Couldn't that system still work on Wayland? I might be completely wrong about this though, so someone more knowledgeable please explain. :-)
- metageek 16y agoYes, but it draws the decorations for other clients. The GP said that Wayland clients draw their own decorations.
