As far as I can tell, enabling the trusted/untrusted security feature breaks a lot of basic features, including clipboards, XRandR, GPU acceleration, XKB keyboard layouts, and whatnot. It's theoretically available but practically useless.
Xnamespaces looks to be more promising, but as far as I can tell that's still a WIP with little documentation, and from the documentation I can find it looks like it still breaks things like clipboard functionality.

- 1718627440 1y agoYes, but even a permission system can only give a program access to the clipboard or not. You can't deny a program access to the clipboard and complain that the clipboard doesn't work.
