Thanks for testing! Early feedback like yours is super helpful. Would be great
of course if you could stay on master in the future to continue with feedback
if something breaks and by that shield inexperienced users from bugs they would
not able to recover from on their own. :)

I need to look into the code some more for a final patch. The above one was
just done rather quickly to test the assumption.

I understand your sentiment but from my perspective I would need to dig into
how exactly unredirect is supposed to be implemented and even then to my
knowledge there are certain structural constraints of unredirect that make it a
subpar experience.

On the other side we have the Wayland session where in the future we will be
able to do an optimal direct scanout of client buffers and on the other side
still have lots of other things to do to make it work on every user install
without issues. So I would like our devs to concentrate on improving that
rather.
