When putting emphasis on a stable system, staying with Xorg is probably
a good idea for the time being. While I use Xwayland daily now, it
definitely comes with a number of quirks.

- Transparency comes and goes. For example, moving a window to near the
top of the screen makes the top menu bar intransparent.

- Sometimes shadows flicker around, which probably want to be window
frame shadows, but get misplaced.

- Copy & Paste by left/middle mouse button sometimes works, sometimes
not. Be prepared to use Ctrl-C/Ctrl-V more often and/or to check every
pasted text.

- gnome-shell collects a lot more memory. Currently at ~500 MB after two
days of usage.

- Commodities like 'sudo synaptic' no longer work, it needs 'xhost
+local:; sudo synaptic'. sudo somehow doesn't forward screen settings.

Ignoring such quirks, it runs at least stable. No crashes so far. And
screen drawing happens faster.
