No. Because Wayland is fundamentally different from X the following won't ever work:
* Window managers
* Programs that need to know their absolute window coordinates
* Windows that want to draw to the root window
* Programs that want to capture the screen via XGetImage()

So you replace XAnything() by somethingElse().
