I always used xeyes to test X connections in the past. I wonder if we'll see a wleyes for Wayland, to test Wayland only and not the x11 comparability layer.

  As a totally uninformed guess -- no? Part of wayland's security design decisions is that one program cannot receive events from another program. An app like xeyes would need cooperation from the compositor otherwise.

    It could use a large window and get input from that entire area, right? Not quite the same thing, of course.

      Wouldn't that only work when it has focus?

  I use xeyes on wayland to determine whether a given app is using Xwayland or not.
