> On the other hand, the Great Wayland Security Theater probably doesn't admit such riff-raff. I'm pretty sure it's doable, but it probably does need to be baked into the compositor. But since there are compositors that can do full immersive 3D environments with windows moving around in them, I can't believe that there's any manipulation of the contents of a window that you can't do in Wayland. Of course, being able to add it as tiny helper program is probably something that's going to be specific to X11, or possibly (best case) require non-portable APIs that are specific to individual compositors in Wayland. | ||

Yeah of course the compositor can do anything, but that's completely useless. Community applications need to be able to do it. Such applications are easily the most popular productivity applications on every other OS. If they're oh-so-concerned about security, a featureful accessibility API like the one macos has is table stakes, and needs to be developed before anything else. Its disgusting to release half baked theater like wayland does. </rant> | ||
