I'm extremely excited for the Wayland support in 3.14. Being able to drag a window without it and the cursor getting out of sync really makes the interface feel

  > Being able to drag a window without it and the cursor getting out of sync really makes the interface feel that much better. Could you please rephrase/clarify? I have a similar issue on X11 since Gnome 3.6 or 3.8 (can't remember exactly) where when dragging windows, the window is moving a bit behind on where it should be relative to the cursor. Feels smooth rather than crisp as it was previously, but it also feels like my CPU is playing catchup although it isn't. I hope your comment was sarcasm! :)

    > when dragging windows, the window is moving a bit behind on where it should be relative to the cursor I meant precisely that. I believe it has to do with difficulties synchronizing the X Server with the compositor. Wayland eliminates this by making the compositor the server. Nothing in my comment was sarcasm...

      I remember this never used to happen with Gnome 3.4 and earlier. I think it started happening when they announced this frame-perfect timing/rendering system. Solved a tearing problem but introduced a lag problem :) I guess you're right though, the lag problem should be solved with Wayland.
