Hello As Linux desktops have begun their long-announced move away from X and have begun to phase out their direct X11 support, I have to ask: should we move our CI to test desktops only on native Wayland and through XWayland?
The background on this is https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/QTBUG-136653, which appears to be caused by a bug in gnome-shell / mutter which sends a minimise event to a dialog, even though the dialog never disappears. That causes Qt code to delete the QDialog, which in turn causes the test to fail and possibly crash. The test is pretty old and this problem does not happen on older versions of GNOME nor does it happen on KDE Plasma. We have not reported the bug to GNOME either. I suspect that it will get limited to no attention if we do specifically because they now are focusing primarily on Wayland. So this the question to discuss: should we move testing of the XCB backend on modern Linux distros to XWayland only? I am not proposing we ditch testing on the older distros we have, for as long as we keep them. But I think this may be more representative of how our XCB support is going to be run: native only on older distros, only through XWayland on newer. -- Thiago Macieira - thiago.macieira (AT) intel.com Principal Engineer - Intel Platform & System Engineering
