Just before a misunderstanding happens here: I didn't criticise the people
behind all the stuff. I am extreme happy that there are some encouraged people
which try to get this stuff working.
It is just the situation that currently each step taken by me ended with my
toe stubbed on another edge. It all started with me trying to fix some
programs which don't work as expected under wayland and I still aren't at the
point were I could reproduce the problem because I failed miserably to get the
test environment to work at all.
