Hi all, 

I'm new to the list so please allow me to introduce myself - I work for 
RealVNC, and we are very keen to support Wayland-based desktops in our 
cross-platform remote desktop software. I was hoping to get some advice on how 
we should approach this.

I've seen the RDP compositor in Weston, but I believe this only allows control 
of a "virtual" desktop, is that correct? 

What we would like is to be able to capture the screen output from a regular 
desktop, and ideally to get notified when updates occur. As I understand it, I 
don't believe there is anything that would allow us to do this at present via 
the Wayland client API. I understand there are security implications in 
allowing applications to see the output of other applications, so perhaps this 
is not the right approach.

It is possible that we could do this by writing a module for Weston, but we 
would prefer a more generic solution that would work with other compositors 
(and could be used by other remote desktop systems), something like a remote 
control interface.

Are there any such plans in the pipeline? Anything we could help with?
