Fact is that it won't be possible in the Wayland world. Why? With which compositor would you want to exchange KWin in a Wayland world? * Compiz? Ubuntu is apparently working on an own Windowing System which is neither X nor Wayland * Mutter? Unlikely it will ever work with anything except GNOME Shell * Weston? Possible, but it's also containing a desktop shell and will Weston provide features needed by Plasma? Will they implement features we will need? Unlikely (why should they add support for a desktop shell which has it's own compositor). * Expecting another Wayland compositor? I don't -- Martin Gräßlin
