so many questions . is the camera stationary and the clouds are moving or is the camera moving and the clouds are barely moving . reference point i do not see . howard hughes used the clouds to show the speed of the planes apparently how do you show the speed of the clouds ? needs moar plane . <| sep |> Screen capture is already implemented in the Weston reference compositor , proving that it can in fact be done . Yes the various desktop environments will have to work together if we want some kind of screencasting standard but that ' s no bad thing . I ' d personally be happier if my compositor had to display a PAM message before an application could capture my screen , seems like progress . In the case of viewing a remote X session from another box , I think that is unaffected . I ' d need to test but I ' m pretty certain you can do the same with Xwayland . You complaint seems to centre around the fact the wayland isn ' t ready for you yet . That ' s fine , it ' s not ready for me either neither is btrfs . The Wayland breaks shit with security stuff seems very Ludditeish to me .
