I put my comment there, but maybe it'd be smoother to discuss on ML, so here I write my test result with XFCE 4.20 Wayland on Leap 16.0. I added OBS X11:xfce/16.0 and simply ran zypper dup --allow-vendor-change to get XFCE 4.20 stuff. For enabling Wayland session, I had to install the following packages in addition: - xfce4-session-wayland-experimental - labwc - dbus-1-daemon The labwc is the base compositor, and dbus-1-daemon is for dbus-run-session command. They could be put to Requires or Recommends of xfce4-session-wayland-experimental package, I guess. After installing the above, I could choose "XFCE (Wayland)" in lightdm, and start with it. So far, so good. But, the behavior seems fairly unstable. - The session start took time; it took 10 seconds until the panel appears - The background picture doesn't appear always, in most cases, it's a blank screen - xfce4-panel wrapper-2.0 keeps crashing as segfault - xfdesktop seems crashing as segfault constantly when I click the right mouse button on the root screen Takashi
