I almost always use Gnome with X, not wayland. Even the test I
reported in my previous post (in response to Richard) was KDE with X,
not wayland. Should thunderbird-wayland be installed and used by us X
users?
X is no longer maintained properly, and by F38 is no longer fully
functional. More functionality removal has happened in F39, and I
believe that it is on the feature list of F40 for full removal. The KDE
and other desktops are also going away from X for the same reasons.
Fedora (and almost every distro now) has gone with Wayland - the
successor to X mostly written by the original X developers. So, while
many parts of the X APIs are working and therefore most of your apps are
functioning properly, you need to get yourself off of depending upon it
in the next 6 months or so. Things like remote X desktops have been
designed out of Wayland, so you are maybe going to lose functionality
and have to use lesser-capable mechanisms like Microsoft-style desktop
sharing for example.
