> Support for Wayland is getting up there. After almost 13 years of development the progress is rather embarrassing.

  It's a hard problem to solve. Wouldn't you agree?

    Taking screenshots/streaming is not a hard problem. However Wayland artificially turns something as simple as taking a screenshot into a hard problem what was before a simple function call to XGetImage(). As exercise I recommend to implement a native screenshot application in both X11 and Wayland.

      I think you're completely ignoring the security implications of "a simple function call to XGetImage()".
      • sprash 6y ago
        What are the security implications? Programs that call XGetImage() when sandboxed in a Xpra/Xephyr session will get back nothing.

          Will get nothing... that means the screenshot won't be taken.
