Compatibility with X A screenshot showing xwayland XWayland is an X Server running as a Wayland client, thus capable of displaying native X11 client applications in a Wayland compositor environment.[33] This is similar to the way XQuartz runs X applications in OS X’s native windowing system. The goal of XWayland is to facilitate the transition from X Window System to Wayland environments, providing a way to run unported applications in the meantime. XWayland was mainlined into X.Org Server version 1.16[34]
Qt applications can switch between graphical back-ends like X and Wayland at load time with the -platform command-line option.[35] In January 2011, Wayland support was moved into the Lighthouse branch of the upstream Qt repository.[36] Qt Lighthouse is shipped in the Qt 4.8 release.[37] In December 2010, GTK+ added preliminary support for switching back-ends at run time, saying "interesting combinations are X11+Wayland or Quartz+X11".[38][39] In January 2011, the GTK+ Wayland backend was updated to support the multiple-backends feature and moved to the gdk-wayland-backend branch of the upstream GTK+ Git repository.[40] In April 2011, the gdk-wayland-backend branch was merged in the GTK+ master branch.
