There's a widely supported protocol extension called xdg-shell which is used for desktop application windows: https://github.com/wayland-project/wayland-protoc

  It sounds like, for wayland to actually be usable, you need to define protocol extensions that bring it to feature parity with X11. At that point, why not just deprecate and replace the two(?) things that are problematic with X11: the keyboard logging protocol, and lack of access control on screenshots? Surely, that is easier than reimplementing the entire graphics stack, all window managers, and all applications.

    Because X11 is a huge dumpster fire that no one wants to maintain. How would you feel about maintaining a 30 year old legacy piece of software which has changed hands 5-6 times since its inception? Wayland is truly a better design and everyone is in favor of leaving that codebase behind.
